3. Startup lingo
Pitch = a brief presentation of your business,
trying to convince somebody (investor, customer,
business partner) that it is worth investigating it
further
Pitch deck = set of slides that support your pitch
4. The infamous elevator pitch
● An elevator pitch (..) is a short description of an idea,
product, company, or oneself that explains the concept in
a way such that any listener can understand it in a short
period of time. (Wikipedia)
● How short?
○ 20-30”
16. Ad hoc networks are a class of fully
distributed wireless networks. In my
thesis, I have developed analytical
models for predicting their performance,
making use of a wide set of tools from
stochastic processes and queueing
theory.
18. Wireless network operators have a hard
time understanding how their systems
would behave in different conditions
(traffic, radio channel etc.).
In my thesis, I have developed models
and tools that help them predict the
performance of their systems and
optimize them.
19. A trick
The CPS framework
● Customer: who will benefit from the outcomes of your
research?
● Problem: what kind of problem do they have
● Solution: how do the outcomes of your research solve
their problem
31. What is a demo?
● A communication tool
● A demo must explain your work to the intended audience
● Shows that you built something (that works, hopefully)
