About Pitch Force

 Virtual Presentation Format

You have the opportunity to present your company to a panel of VCs, Angels and successful startup founders.  Because you only have 4 minutes, it is very important to practice your presentation to make sure you have time to include the most important information. You would be surprised how many presenters run out of time before they have even touched on the problem they are solving. Practice in front of a mirror! Practice in front of your colleagues! Practice in front of your friends! ​

AGENDA
​

1. Each company will deliver a 1-minute elevator  pitch to the Panelists.  There will be up to two questions from the panel.
2. After each company’s elevator pitch the panel will vote on a scale of 1-5 as to how much they like the company.
3.  The top 5 vote getters will get to do a 4-minute ppt followed by 4 minutes of question and answers followed by 4 minutes of non-rebuttal feedback.  The panelists will vote again on the company based on their 4-minute ppt.
4.  Winners will be announced following the pitches. Companies that do well often get meetings with the investors that result in beginning the process for Angel investment

Winning first place at PitchForce gave me a new talking point when reaching out to new investors.
It helped me land more meetings."

​"What I love about the pitch competitions is that it’s a great forum for new founders and startups to define and refine their pitch infront of angel and early-stage VC’s. — Maryanne Morow, CEO of SurgeXLR
