What Is LivePitch?

At LivePitch, early stage entrepreneurs have 4 minutes to pitch to a panel of experts and a live audience in order to:

1. Practice pitching.
2. Ask for and receive honest feedback.
3. Let the community know what resources are needed to move forward (partners, services, funding, connections, talent).
4. Gain visibility in the business community.

The audience at LivePitch receives $100 of "fake money" to "invest" in their favorite entrepreneurs, with prizes awarded to both a panel and audience favorite. There will be 60 minutes of pitching, and 30 minutes for general networking.
