BOOM! that was A S - H - O - W! It was LEGEN- (don’t need to wait for it ‘cause the pitch was 2 minutes long)-DARY! Jasmin just rocked out on the stage. Now that you know what was the outcome, here’s a little story of how we got there.
J & J getting ready for sparring the pitch
All started a week and something ago, with a good ol’ traditional Rock-paper-scissors tournament about who will get the honour of pitching our idea. Jasmin beat Antti right there on the first round. And it was left between Janne and Jasmin. After the exciting final between Janne and Jasmin, Janne was able to break Jasmin’s scissors with the stone-cold rock. Well days went by, and about 5 days ago we started to actually prepare for the SHOW. We went and did something as a bit of an extravagant move, just to stand out and to be remembered. So we came up with a nice, simple flyer with our product name, and our landing page address.

Antti is doing some managerial stuff
Two days before the act, we started to practice intensely. It started bit slowly but in the end of the day we were quite confident. We had trained Janne with methods not even Rocky Balboa had. We would still have two days anyways to make our show great. We should have had two days, BUT…. Someone not mentioning any names (Antti) doesn’t believe in having calendar, but is quite a charismatic/dominative nature, so no one is correcting that the pitch really is on thursday. It was not. Actually, Jasmin tried to tell the boys, but as she had a lot on her mind, and thought that the supposedly and self-proclaimed more “organized” unnamed team member (Antti) was on schedule. The Pitch was on Wednesday. So we had to pitch one day earlier than thought, due to confusion. No problem! We will have the whole day to figure this out, we have more than enough time. But there was another thing coming, that no one could foresee. Our pitcher (Janne) woke up with no voice. (NOOOO!)
Keep calm and #yolouluswag, so it was quickly decided that Jasmin would vouch in, and she got the honour of pitching our presentation. You would assume that she would get pretty nervous, but Antti sure was more nervous for her and especially for our T - E - A - M. She did get nervous in the end, after the multiple “we are gonna die”-scenes that Antti so kindly provided her with. One of them involving mental instability, one with clothing malfunctions, ranging all the way to natural disasters in the form of earthquakes. But we had a few hours to practice. We got so desperate that we even asked some strangers to watch the pitch, in order to get some outsider perspective and feedback. That was proven to be a good way to ensure that our message is clear enough and easy to understand. Some more practice, suiting up and then it was time to get on stage. In my opinion I think it went smoothly, and we were among the clearest pitches there was.
In conclusion, we let you decide for yourself. Here's a video of the pitch.
