We’ve helped hundreds of startups raise investment over the last decade. And, this year, we can help your business get funding.

The application process takes about 10 minutes to complete. We ask for basic details, such as when your startup launched and how big your team is, and why you should be shortlisted for the competition.

The Pitch offers the advice, support and network you need to take your business to the next level. From free one-on-one coaching sessions to exclusive insights from leading investors, The Pitch programme has a wealth of resources to tap into – and that’s just the start.

The top 50 startups will work with our pitching coaches, before giving a 90-second pitch to investors and journalists at our live regional semi-finals. There’s a people’s vote too, so fans can get involved.

After each semi-final, we’ll share the judges’ feedback with detailed scoring to help you improve your pitch. Videos of the pitches and the scores will be added to our leaderboard, which will be seen by thousands of people, including investors, journalists and potential customers.

The top 10 startups will compete in The Pitch Final in November, where they will pitch to a room of top investors 🏆
