Notes:
- These slides do not need to be developed as voice-over files. Simply delivery a clear, concise overview of the new product/service concept.
- For very new start-ups, some of these slides may be difficult to complete. Complete all slides the best you can: the evaluation is more on uniqueness of the idea and potential to meet a real need.
- Do not include any confidential or proprietary details in the slide deck. If the team believes it has confidential, patentable or copyright material, mention this, but do not provide in this file.
- The submissions will be reviewed using the Judging Template found at http://ideapitch.smeal.psu.edu/judging
