One of the key points that came out of the investor pitch session is the idea of a well rounded but focused approach. When addressing such issues as poverty, climate change, health, and human rights and peace there is going to be the inclination to try and solve all the problems related to a particular topic rather than one.
This could clearly be seen in the pitches and the presentations. Those pitches, such as Out Against Abuse, which strove to accomplish so much (campus awareness, rape kit production, web resource, computer literacy training etc.) ended up not developing each idea to its fullest extent because it wanted to accomplish too much too soon. Other organizations, such as Public Stuff, which had a very narrow focus, was able to develop a strong well-rounded and confident idea because resources where funneled into developing one product and one service.
