Have you attended a FundingUniverse CrowdPitch? Now is your chance!
What is CrowdPitch you say?
Think ´American Idol´ or ´Shark Tank´ — selected entrepreneurs will have 4 minutes to pitch their company to both a panel of experts & a live audience, followed immediately by a 3-minute Q&A session with the audience. Finally, we unleash the panel of experts to offer up constructive feedback.
As you arrive, grab a plate of food and take a seat. We’ll give you a moment to eat while you chat with those around you. The pitches will start soon after.
The audience chooses the winner by investing ‘FUN’ money in the venture of their choice.
CrowdPitch provides a great opportunity for everyone to learn how to pitch to investors as well as network with like minded people.
