Next week I'll be presenting my project and competing against 20 tech companies for a 50k grant.
How the fuck do I prepare?
What should I keep in mind?
Every time I pitch or talk in front of an audience my hands shake and the only thing I've come up to hide it is holding hands in front of me

you unironically need to practice in front of some other human and ask for pointers.
The biggest mistake you will make is overloading the audience with too much info...trying to spam it all in...this should be very very highlevel only

competing for a grant in a pitch-off is loser shit. if your idea is good, act like it. don't go to some cattle call

practice over and over. record yourself on video so you know how cringe you sound.
use drugs to calm down and talk better like propanolol, phenibut, or nicotine.

Hold a pen or a slide controller in your hands.

Anyway you doubting yourself means you already lost. You have to present it literally being convinced that you have the best goddamn project on the planet and that whoever doesn't get in on it is insane.

So basically don't stress on details and go for confidence?
