Rehearse the pitch, and the hard questions.

PROPEL Center, a national nonprofit that runs skills challenges for college students, in partnership with major employers.

Students pitch in challenges like the Future of Tech Innovation Challenge but rarely get to rehearse in front of a judge first.

pitchIQ lets every team practice the pitch and the tough Q&A as often as they want, so they walk in ready.

The student adds their idea or deck, gives a 1-minute or 3-minute pitch to an AI judge out loud, then answers the judge's follow-up questions.

It grades five areas: problem, solution, market, delivery, and Q&A, plus an overall score out of 100. The student gets back:

• Their scores
• Feedback on the pitch and the answers
• The questions judges are likely to ask
• Free resources to sharpen up
• A PDF of the scorecard

Score 80 or higher and they earn a "Pitch Ready" badge. Like interviewIQ, nothing is saved: no recording, no transcript, nothing on the student's profile.

• Every team can rehearse in front of a judge, not just the ones who find one
• Students practice the hard questions, not only the pitch
• Feedback comes right away, with the questions to prepare for
• A badge students can share when they're ready
• Private by design: no recording, no transcript, nothing on their profile

pitchIQ lives in PROPEL IQ, on the student's profile in PROPEL Talent, next to interviewIQ.

Some of the most valuable help a program gives depends on staff time. We turn it into a tool every participant can use on their own, any time, on the platform you already run.
