5 minute business plan pitch

I am competing in a business plan competition and have to give a 5 minute pitch where I present my idea to the judges. It's for money so I want to get it right.

They already received my proposal and I am not allowed to distribute written material during the pitch.

Here are the issues I wanted to address during the pitch:

What is the problem I am going to solve / what is the purpose of this venture?
What are my goals and how will I achieve them?
What market am I in and how big is it, $?
What/ who is my target market?

Am I on the right track, this is the first time I'm doing something like these, any advice is highly appreciated.

This sounds a little paranoid but competition might be reading it, i'll send it in a pn at most.

but thanks for the tip, what are some big do and don'ts during a business pitch? If it's possible to generalize it?
