Click here for the NABC model. 

• How long is the pitch? 4 min
• How many people should pitch? We suggest one person who has the best handle of the English language
• Can all team members be present? Yes, we suggest all team members be present with the camera on and be ready on standby to answer questions the judges may have.
• Can we present a commercial video? We suggest sticking to the usual business pitching format for the 4 min pitch
• What should we use in the pitch when recording? For your pre recorded pitch, we recommend using a pitch deck. The pitch deck should have minimal writing and more visual identification of what you are trying to say. We want the judge to focus on what you are saying rather than trying to read a screen. Imagine that when speaking, you want the jury to mainly be listening and gently glancing the slide deck or resting their eyes on something easy to look at while listening.

All of it is important but of course emphasis on your; customer pain / problem description, customer segmentation, business model, idea, impact measurements, team and future timeline are always highlighted.
