Entrepreneurs might have a great idea but can’t always get it in front of the right people with the right money. On the other side of the equation, angel investors like you long to hear good pitches of great ideas that fit within your narrow scope or specialty.
PerfectBusiness.com (which bills itself as “the path to entrepreneurship”) is holding its “Perfect Pitch” contest to help get the right business ideas in front of the right investors. Contest entries are business pitches that include a written description, pictures, and video. These entries will be reviewed by a panel of noted judges who are popular, humorous, and extremely good looking. (Venture Hype is one of the judges.)
The panel of judges will select the top 10 pitches and request more information from those businesses. Then, with the additional information in hand, 3 winners will be awarded airfare, accommodations, and the chance to pitch their idea to Virgin’s Richard Branson and a roomful of investors at The Perfect Pitch 2009 Entrepreneur and Investor Conference on Oct 26 at the beautiful Marina del Ray California.
So, if you’re an entrepreneur and you have an amazing idea for a better mousetrap or the next best thing since sliced bread, and you’re just bursting with excitement because you know this idea will make bazillions of dollars, you’re running out of time to enter your pitch. The submission deadline is Sept 8 21, before midnight. (In fact, if you’re reading this and it’s too late, you might want to invent a time machine then go back in time to submit your idea).
Or, if you’re an angel investor, you can still participate. Chances are, you know a whole bunch of entrepreneurs who’d love to pitch their ideas. Maybe they’re not in your industry but they have a good idea, or maybe it’s your cousin Frank and you think his idea should reach a broader audience. Whatever. You can spread the words and encourage entrepreneurs you know to submit their pitches. They’ll appreciate another chance to have their pitch heard. Don’t forget to tell your fellow angel friends about the upcoming conference too!
