Y6 Make 5 Grow Business Pitching day

Having worked hard over the last week to build a strong business idea, designed logos; slogans; created costing sheets and conducted product research - TODAY was the big day. Pitching day.

All thirteen groups of children stood nervously in turn, facing their classmates, business rivals and their investment dragons - hoping to get the investment needed to kick-start their business. There was a whole range of pictures, videos, spreadsheets and slideshows all in the name of earning the backing of their chosen dragon.

Whilst eleven business were awarded funding after their pitch; two businesses will have to return on Monday with an improved plan, and show the dragons they can act on the advice given. Our investors could choose 4 companies each to invest in: there were some tense moments as dragons fought to convince groups to choose them - leading to some quick heated discussions amongst team members - but the dragons didn't get all their own way.

Well done to everyone, and keep an eye out for the launch of each business!

Good luck Y6
