Volunteer as a Pitch Coach
march- April
Each year, middle and high school students join Project Invent and embark on a journey to invent products for social good. In May, student teams will pitch their products in front of a panel of judges at Demo Day X events. As a Pitch Coach, you will coach student teams to prepare their presentation and pitch for Demo Day X!
who should volunteer to be a pitch coach?
This opportunity is for professionals who have experience presenting at work-related meetings, speaking in front of small to mid-size groups, or pitching your own ideas! Professional backgrounds can include basic business, entrepreneurs, marketing, design, software, product, and more!
what will i do?
Beginning on March 27th and running through May 1st, you will meet virtually with assigned student teams to help them practice their product pitch. The time commitment is 30 mins- 1 hour sessions at least two times with your teams!
We’ll help match you with teams based upon your schedule and prepare you to meet with them by providing training and resources.

Hear From a Volunteer!
Dominque from Google shares her experience about why she volunteers as a Pitch Coach with Project Invent. Pitch Coaches help students prepare their product pitches in preparation for our end-of-year Demo Day events!
I find it fun and rewarding! Students get value from someone giving them feedback on not only their product, but how to pitch with confidence!
