Venture Plan Presentation Rubric
The purpose of this presentation is to convince the panel that your venture is worth investing in. Remember, you need funding for your venture and this is the opportunity to get it! You can do this by showing the panel an overview of the various aspects of your venture plan and website highlighting the important points. You are basically selling your idea to the group and competing with your classmates for the limited funds of the investors
Remember** You need to assume that your audience has no prior knowledge of your venture and has not seen your website- so you want to inform them accordingly. Also, keep it interesting, don’t bore the audience with information that is not necessary- you want to highlight all of the unique things about your venture and provide the class with an overview of how to order your product or service on-line.
