With the CrowdPitch Competition, anyone who purchases a Founder/CEO or table ticket has an opportunity to pitch on stage in front of hundreds of investors, founders, and press at the Founder Showcase event.
Simply purchase a ticket, and submit your best one-sentence pitch in the comments below. Then, based on pitch popularity and our judging, we will select the top pitch on Tuesday, November 6th, and that company will get to pitch on stage at the 12th Founder Showcase on November 7th.
No other event gives attendees access to so much.
