I give the presentation a 9 and the business model an 8. 6:45-7:45 Tyler gives the pitch a 9. 9:00-10:15 How are you going to monetize this? 11:15-16:00 Thank you to Walker Corporate Law for sponsoring the program. 16:15-17:30 Next pitch: Richard Fielding presents PrepMyFuture, an adaptive test preparation learning system for GMAT testing. 18:30-18:45 Tyler, what was the one thing that you took away from his pitch? What was the killer feature? 18:45-20:15 Jason gives the pitch an 8. 20:15-21:30 Whats the most important feature of this business? 21:30-23:15 Jason: I give the business model an 8 or 8.5. You need to know your audience, so what are the future trends? 23:15-25:15 Tyler: I give the pitch an 8, you could have made it more personal and emotional. 25:15-25:45 If this is going to be social and mobile, you should have told us that. Give your audience a roadmap. 27:00-28:00 Kirsten gives the pitch a 7.58 and the business an 8.59. 28:00-29:30 Next pitch: Guillaume Martin pitches Pictarine, a service that integrates different photo services into one shareable, downloadable slideshow. 32 <b>…<b>

But what about the business? 18:45-19:45 Whats the business model? 19:45-20:30 Does the computer read the article and provide a voice over? 20:30-23:15 I dont think this is a business yet because I dont think cable providers will buy this right now.
