Please give us feedback on our tool for helping ideamakers train their pitching
Lauge, Kristoffer, Morten and myself (Anders) have been working on a small web-based tool (http://pitch.brightloops.org/) that aims to help ideamakers practice their pitches. But we need some honest / brutal feedback to iterate further.
We began building it together because quite a few of the young startups at the Danish incubator space we work at have struggled with pitching their ideas to potential investors, advisors, at events like Startup Weekend (the list goes on).
We discussed this issue with our advisors who confirmed this problem, then began discussing how we could address it and started developing the prototype since Tuesday. We finished the first version today, so it's all very new.
We have tried to build the prototype around some insight & feature-requests we gained from organizers and attendants of a past local Startup Weekend (who also struggled with teams having a hard time pitching), and we would greatly appreciate feedback from you guys.
Issues with the prototype that we're aware of and working on fixing: - Printing in Internet Explorer 10 is acting up - The current pitch duration calculation only goes per minute, not per second. - It has not been tested in Internet Explorer 9 or below, or in Opera. But Firefox and Chrome should be fine. - The name "Pitcherific" is a working title, any ideas are welcome! - Pasting in text does not activate the character counting, you need to paste and then hit space
Again, feedback is very appreciated and thank you for your time and interest. In return, we'd love to give feedback too.
