Amazing scenes before demo day. We stayed up real late working on the presentation and the pitch. It took us several iterations to get everyone synched up. I had the easiest part. I played Esther’s proxy to navigate the site. Esther worked her magic on the site and it looked nothing like what it did a week before demo day. We were pretty confident of doing a good job. All three of us are veteran (:P) of several grad school talks. The only thing that made us nervous was our presentation software. We had issues with it at Flashpoint Academy and it made us look bad. We didn’t take any chances here and saved it in as many formats as possible to ensure there weren’t any “compatibility issues”.
The demo itself went off pretty well. The audience was extremely receptive of the idea and the questions were not anything like what we anticipated. Some of the board members had fun asking us questions on when we would put up lingerie on the site. Bernard looked sharp and did an great job selling the idea.
Thankfully, all the teams the iVentures10 program had good demos. There’s the big demo on the 3rd which everyone is working feverishly towards. Here’s hoping things turn out great.
