What do you get by combining six early stage startup founders with a panel of top VCs and experienced ProWellTech editors? This is Pitchers & Pitches, a rapid-fire throwing competition with an important side of tips for turning your 60-second throw into a key that unlocks opportunity.
Grab a snack, bring your questions, and tune in to our pre-Disrupt 2020 masterclass tomorrow, September 2, at 4pm ET / 1pm PT. You can register here. We randomly chose six startups - all exhibitors in Digital Startup Alley - to launch their best launch. Our esteemed judges (we'll name all the names in a moment) will criticize each and offer suggestions to hone what is arguably an entrepreneur's most essential tool.
Be prepared to take copious notes. Free expert advice - the type who listens to presentations for a living - doesn't come every day and chances are you can apply a lot of what you hear to your tone. Additionally, the viewing audience decides which startup offered the best presentation.
You can't have a competition without a prize, and that's pretty nifty. The winning startup marks a consulting session with cela, a company that connects early stage startups to accelerators and incubators that can help scale their businesses.
Hannah Webb, CEO of Findster Technologies, winner of the first Pitchers & Pitches session, talks about the result of her experience with P&P. "Disrupt and Digital Startup Alley have not officially started yet and we have already seen great benefits. Cela has introduced us to several accelerators in the New York area and one is perfect for our company's situation."
Now, without further ado, the jury waiting to be impressed includes two top VCs - Sequoia Capital partner Konstantine Buhler, and Tusk Ventures investor Anne Gifford - and two ProWellTech experts, Anthony Ha and Darrell Etherington.
As for the early stage startups taking the mound, they are:
