Shark tank pitch

Mixed teams pitch a fake new product line to a panel of execs.

8.6 trust impact 12–60 Medium energy Half day

Two hours of preparation, three minutes on stage, plus three minutes of questions. The teams take it surprisingly seriously, the execs take it surprisingly seriously, and you walk away with three to five product concepts you might actually steal.

How to run it

  1. 1

    Form mixed teams of 5. Tell them they'll pitch a brand-new product or business line.

  2. 2

    2 hours to prepare. Provide flipcharts and snacks.

  3. 3

    Each team gets 3 minutes to pitch and 3 minutes of Q&A from a panel of 3 execs.

  4. 4

    Vote on best pitch. Award a real budget — even €500 — to take the idea further.
