Resources

Here you will find a few links and files that might prove useful to you in preparing your application to C2E. As you might already have read in the instructions, you are suggested to submit a pitch presentation (max 15 slides) or an executive summary (max 3 pages).

Find some templates below to help you get started and avoid the creative lock given by the blank paper

Please note that:

1) If you already have a pitch deck or an executive summary for your startup, don’t modify them just to adhere to the templates. Files provided here are just useful examples in case you never had occasion to produce any structured documentation for your business.

2) If you believe that neither a pitch deck nor an executive summary are useful in your case, you are welcome to submit any documentation you feel can be effective. In this case, it is up to you to keep your submission within an equivalent level of synthesis.

3) If you apply for a Project Work action but you decide to submit an executive summary, make sure to also prepare a short presentation for the students, in case your project gets selected. Please check detailed instruction on the Project Work page

Executive Summary

Clear To Engage helps you out by providing you with a reduced version of the official IBAN executive summary template. You can equivalently use the short version or the complete version, if you have the financial information required by the latter (you may find the original IBAN version at www.iban.it).

Executive Summary Template

Pitch Presentation

The provided template is split into 10 sections (see slide #3 for an overview) each contained within one single slide. A few introductory/transition slides are present as well as screenshots. It is highly advisable to stick to the sequence and to the choice of sections that you will find in the template
