Week 18: Final Pitching

 Final Pitching 

    There are tons of lessons I've learned during final pitching. One mistake that I made during the final pitch was reading the script on my phone. To be honest, I did prepare for the script, and even memorized the first 2 slides. However, it felt different on the stage, the memorized script faded away. This implies that I should've prepared at least one week ahead of time, as in this case I only prepared for days. One thing that I should have done was to spread the labour across my groupmates in presenting the script. Meaning, I tried to do it all alone, and that was a big mistake. The script was amazing, but it becomes uninteresting if I continuously looked at my phone. So it should have been three of us presenting, that way the memorization load would be decreases by memorizing it all alone. Another mistake was the lack of preparedness for the panel's questions. Overall, I was disappointed that I did not make it to the top 10, but at the end of the day, the lesson learned is what's important. Also, the workforce of the heartseekers was shorthanded by one member, because one of our member have a health condition. That said, this was a very educating and fun experience of feeling how to startup your own company feels like, and I hope that the insights I've learned will be of good use in the future of my Computer Engineering Careeer.
