Chava, your personal connection added a strong point in favour of your venture pitch as it shows your passion for this market. As someone who has taught Sunday school before, your product would’ve been very welcomed as it is theologically sound and does not sacrifice that for game play, as you clearly emphasized in your pitch. Your financials are presented in a clear and concise manner in your Appendix, and I appreciated the breakdown of how they money will be spent. Your research into the GBL market for bible studies in the U.S. further supports your venture. If you were to establish yourself at the beginning of your venture, that will give potential investors the confidence to keep listening to your idea. Overall, you had an engaging presence throughout your entire pitch.

Thanks for your kind words and feedback Jennifer. I was well aware of the fact that I delayed my personal intro. Although I know it is more accepted to first introduce yourself to establish trust so that the audience will want to keep listening, I opted to first get them intrigued by the idea and market and then show them why I am the right person to do it. In my venture pitch I brought in my bio only after discussing why others failed and why I will succeed at developing a quality Bible game. It was a stylistic decision, not the standard flow, but then again, there is nothing standard about the idea of teaching Bible through video games... ;)
