On April 26th, VietSeeds RISE successfully held a training session on "Pitching Skills" with enthusiastic participation from RISERs in Hanoi. The class was led by Mr. Trinh Ngoc Minh - CEO & Founder of the B247 system, with special appearances from Mr. Nguyen Minh Chien - Deputy Director of the B247 system and Ms. Vo Hai Anh - Coach of the Operation department of RISE 2025.

In the presentation practice session, the RISERs were given an interesting challenge: to debate on a fundraising plan of 3 billion VND for RISE's bottled water project. With thorough preparation and delivery of outstanding performances, aimed at convincing the "Sharks" to invest in the project, they received sincere and profound feedback from the guest speakers, helping to improve their skills and critical thinking.

The highlight of the event was the genuine sharing by Mr. Minh Chien. He brought an engaging lesson through the story of the launch event of Steve Jobs' first iPhone, highlighting the important "tips" to create an impressive pitch:

• Start with anticipation: Attract the audience right from the first few minutes.
• Prove the current issues: Identify specific problems and demonstrate the importance of the solution.
• Lively, engaging demo: Use visual evidence to enhance persuasiveness.
• A simple yet impactful conclusion: End the presentation with a strong, memorable message.

After the theoretical sections, the students had the opportunity to immediately practice Pitching led by Mr. Ngoc Minh, with a unique theme on the IRONMAN triathlon. By providing several interesting examples and encouraging young people to try their hand at this challenging sport, his lecture brought a lot of inspiration and motivation to the participants.

To sum up, the training not only helps RISERs enhance their presentation skills but also expands their creative thinking, equipping them with useful knowledge for future work and studies. VietSeeds sincerely expresses our gratitude to the trainers who dedicated their time and effort to provide us with a valuable learning session!
