The Pitch Final returns to London in November!

Dust off your power suit and put on those lucky socks, the most exciting startup competition of the year – The Pitch 2019 – is coming back to London!

Join us to watch 15 startups from across the country compete for the coveted title of Britain’s best new startup at The Trampery on London’s iconic Old Street on 21st November 2019.

The Pitch is scouring the UK for the most exciting new startups. We give them the opportunity to refine their skills, network with the best and brightest at our boot camps and the chance to win a money-can’t-buy package of mentoring and support.

The likes of wonky-veg distributor and food waste warrior Oddbox, 3D digital advertisers HYPERVSN and agri-tech company Small Robot Company have all competed in the past – startups who’ve gone on to shake up their market and create game-changing products and services.

What happens at The Pitch Final?

In London, finalists have three minutes to pitch their business to our expert judges – this year’s panel includes Jimmy’s Iced Coffee founder Jim Cregan, Crowdcube founder Darren Westlake, Runway East’s Natasha Guerra and Oddbox co-founder Emilie Vanpoperinghe.

In addition to catching a glimpse of Britain’s next big thing, we have inspiring and engaging talks tailored for entrepreneurs. And there’s the opportunity to hobnob with our judges, finalists, investors and journalists. If that isn’t enough, drinks and pizza are on us!

“We were The Pitch finalists a month after we launched. It was a fantastic opportunity to shout about our product, network and learn. We found the workshops really helpful, especially around pitching and preparing for investment. In fact, we met Crowdcube there and went on to raise ÂŁ250,000,” said Rockit co-founder Matt Dyson.

If you’ve started your own business – or are interested in doing so – nab yourself a ticket to this exciting event where you can meet other entrepreneurs and get inspired about where you could go in future.

Tickets are on sale NOW to join us for The Pitch Final 2019. The tickets sell out every year, so don’t hesitate! The price is ÂŁ10 for early-bird tickets and ÂŁ15 afterwards.
