Event in Room: Auditorium
Bringing together students, startups, entrepreneurs, investors, and mentors to hear today's up and coming entrepreneurs pitch their ideas to a panel of expert investor-judges for $1,000 in cash prizes!
PITCH101 is one of a series of bridging events throughout Atlantic Canada providing entrepreneurs and students the opportunity to develop a clear and concise pitch of their idea. The pitches are designed to be the first step in helping prepare these entrepreneurs and perhaps those in the audience to develop longer pitches for when they meet real-time investors and potential partners. After each pitch the pitch-judges will provide direct feedback to the pitchers and the audience will be able to "text vote" for their favourite pitch. All results will be tabulated and announced during the closing reception providing a casual but focused networking finale for all.
The day starts off with an hour long inspiring fireside chat between investors/mentors and the audience on "Access to Capital". We'll discuss the current landscape for startups seeking investment, the challenges and what today's investors are looking for in a startup's pitch! The chat is followed by a 30 minute networking break, then, several entrepreneurs will pitch for one minute to a panel of experienced pitch-judges and the audience.
