The Purpose of a Pitch Video
Your pitch video is your chance to sell your team, your vision, and the “why” behind your project. While the demo video shows what your product does, the pitch video explains why it matters. It’s about building an emotional connection and conveying the passion that drives your team. Be authentic, clear, and energetic.
A good pitch video should answer the core questions in a judge’s mind: Who are you? What problem are you solving? How do you solve it? And what do you need to succeed?
