By the end of this guided project, you will be able to use the Pitch Canvas to make adequate preparation for your startup funding pitch. The Pitch Canvas is an entrepreneurial brainstorming framework that help you to structure and visualize your pitch in one page. The canvas is most effective for pitch preparation that is not more than 10 minutes. The goal is to highlight the key factor of your business plan while leaving the details to the subsequent meeting that might require extensive pitch. The canvas helps you to focus on the important point by convincing the investors that your business is worth investing in, and also to prepare for questions they might likely asked.
