“𝗪𝗲 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗳𝗮𝗶𝗹 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗴𝗿𝗼𝘄.” ˖⋆࿐໋ A few days before the RMIT Activator LaunchHUB Pitch Night on 20 June, I jotted these words down in my journal as a mental preparation. This is my fourth business pitch since my first one with the City of Melbourne Open Innovation Competition on 21 June last year. 🌱 Wow how much PassMe has developed as a team and I have grown as a person in one year. Continuing on my journal, I wrote “Of course, I’m competitive to try our best, to give the best delivery for PassMe. Yet, I know we are young, the whole team is young, and we’re determined to commit to our business. We still have blind spots, and the business has room for improvement. If we fail on Pitch Night, I have no regrets. I pushed through my best, even on my busiest, tired day. I chose to build a start-up, it’s my choice and wish so I have no complaints. 𝑰 𝒅𝒐 𝒇𝒆𝒆𝒍 𝒕𝒊𝒓𝒆𝒅, 𝒃𝒖𝒕 𝒏𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒓 𝒈𝒆𝒕 𝒕𝒊𝒓𝒆𝒅 𝒐𝒇 𝒅𝒐𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒊𝒕. If we lose the prize, my ego won’t feel offended. Because I know win-lose in this start-up game doesn’t stand for my self-worth or self-identity. My values won’t be affected by PassMe’s success, and yes business values will.” PassMe didn’t win the Pitch Night, yet I won by breaking my thought pattern of seeking external validation. I can now separate the work and the person — PassMe and Ngọc. — Reflecting on the LaunchHUB journey, we tried our best to contribute to these goal-setting metrics: 🧠(1) 𝑰𝒏𝒑𝒖𝒕: participating in the LaunchHUB Program + showing up every Wednesday in the last 8 weeks, despite our other commitments with studies and daytime work. ✨(2) 𝑶𝒖𝒕𝒑𝒖𝒕: creating the ACN & ABN (it was scary!) + designing the web + building the social media marketing = we dared to put our work out there even if it’s imperfect. And we can’t control the 💌(3) 𝑶𝒖𝒕𝒄𝒐𝒎𝒆: securing the funds is 50% of our control in the work we do, other 50% is the judges’ control decision. 🚀Competition is about whether we make our vision clear, driven by data for the judges to see. If we haven’t made it clear and seen vision together this time, it’s fine. Better next time! To be honest, I still feel regret as I could have delivered a full answer for the Q&A. Yet I won’t regret a thing about our efforts throughout the last 3 months with LaunchHUB. I’m still proud of our team’s work collectively and my effort individually. Apply what we learned to the next step — continue to build the website, validate our market and strengthen our business model. There are always opportunities & potential to grow!✨ — /) /) ପ(˶•-•˶)ଓ ♡ /づ づ Thank you to everyone who has supported and given PassMe valuable feedback and insights! Thanks for trusting PassMe. We have the solution, we have the passion, we are PassMe and we have YOU to accelerate our growth! 🌟
