This Week in Startups in Portsmouth: Pitch Madness
6 Going
It's Pitch Madness this March! As part of Founder Fridays by This Week in Startups, we're participating in the worldwide pitch competition where cities will compete in a bracket-style tournament. š„ Here's how it will work for our Portsmouth group: ā Join the casual info/practice/feedback session on March 6th to get your pitch dialed in ā Submit a 2-minute pitch video (Loom + slides) to the Portsmouth panel who will select a winner (submissions due March 12th) ā Our local judge panel will select a winner to submit to the Pitch Madness bracket. ā Every few days This Week in Startups will announce the winners of the bracket across social media. ā The Final Four will pitch to Jason on This Week in Startups!
