This year, we saw over 1,000 applications from businesses across the UK. It was extremely challenging to narrow down the cohort this year as we saw some of the strongest applications to date.
40 startups joined us at our regional events to pitch for a spot at the grand final with the top 10 taking to the stage for a final time on the 24th of October in London. We saw a wide array of businesses, ranging from fermented beverages to brain protecting halos.
We’ve put together an overview of The Pitch 2024. Below you’ll be able to find the scores from each event, all the startups who took part, their pitches, our judging cohort for each event as well as the event streams. So if you couldn’t make it to the events, you can find everything you need to know in one handy place.
