What is a CrowdPitch?
This event will bring entrepreneurs, innovators, mentors, support providers, and investors together in an informal and energetic setting.
Think ´American Idol´ — 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 panel.
A free networking lunch will follow the formal pitch.
