As pitching coaches for the program, Sarah and Philip attended the Pitching & Graduation Day organised by Luxinnovation.
They took this opportunity to check how over 70 start-ups present their projects to the community before they get to work with the selected candidates in the Fit4Start9 cohort.
Here are the 10 most common mistakes they noticed during this event, which can also be found in too many pitching events, and that we should all avoid when pitching or giving a presentation of any kind:
1- Starting with "Hello, my name is ..." instead of delivering a powerful introduction
2- Wanting to say too much

5- Forgetting to re-read your slides
6- Using inappropriate sizes and colours for the text
7- Forgetting to engage with the audience
8- Speaking like a robot
9- Trying too hard to stand out
10- Focusing on hard facts
