LivePitch Event Deadline Approaching

Posted by

I received word this morning that the Funding Universe LivePitch event application deadline is fast approaching. You have until September 23 (Tuesday) at midnight to RSVP or register as a presenter.

Click Here to RSVP, Register, or get more information.

LivePitch is a business luncheon hosted by Funding Universe wherein you have the opportunity to rub shoulders with local entrepreneurs and investors. Funding Universe selects up to five applicants to pitch their business opportunity to a panel of experts, and the attendees of the luncheon. Presenters have four minutes to make their pitch, and are offered feedback. Pitching companies must pay a $25 application fee and an additional $50 if they are selected to present.

Anyone can RSVP as an attendee, and there is an audience participation element; Audience members receive $100 of play “Monopoly” money to “invest” in their favorite company pitch. After all of the presentations, the audience will place their monopoly cash into the bowl of their favorite LivePitch presentation.

After all of the presentations, 2 winning presenters will be announced based on the amount of “monopoly cash” that is “invested” (one by the panel of expert investors and the other by the audience).

Note that this is a ‘LivePitch’ event, and not a SpeedPitching Luncheon. LivePitch is not a fund raising event. Please do not apply to pitch or attend with the expectation that investment offers will be a natural or immediate outflow of this event.

SpeedPitch, on the other hand, is targeted toward connecting entrepreneurs and investors.
