Their first round of Australian regional pitches will happen live at Start-Con. Over the coming weeks, judges will then choose one of the best start-ups across the Asia Pacific to compete in the Start-Con Pitch for $1 Million Final.

Tips to win your Pitch for a million.

Have you got the required team to assist you to succeed? No start-up gets anywhere without their team support so demonstrate the efforts, commitment, and expertise of your whole team.

How are you acquiring your customers and what’s your revenue model? Are you making money yet? Be clear and concise about your pricing model, the future value of a customer and customer acquisition costs.

Do you have an ever-expanding target marketplace for your product or service? Never undersell yourself: your business plan should be both realistic and aggressive.

How are you changing or disrupting the environment or your industry and what is different about your startup from what’s already out there? Give the solution to, ‘So, what?’ with everything you say instead of assuming your audience will create the link for you.

Have you really practiced enough? Take previous pitch feedback on board, ask anyone who will give feedback and remember to organize for questions.

How will the finalist and winner be chosen?

There are 3 stages of the competition: Online, Regional final, and an International final. All-rounds will have an expert panel of judges.
