About the competition

This Summer, Currys Business has been on a mission to support founders entering The Pitch by offering all applicants the chance to win a business tech bundle worth over £1,500.

Two lucky winners have been selected to win the following:

  • Microsoft Surface Pro 10 13″ for Business with the Intel Core Ultra 5 processor and 16 GB RAM and 256 GB SSD
  • Microsoft Surface Pro Keyboard with the SlimPenCM

Most founders would agree that there just aren’t enough hours in the day to do everything that needs to be done, especially if you’re running the business alone.

With Kit up with Currys Business two founders could win a brand new Microsoft tech bundle equipped with AI powered tech to help them automate those less impactful tasks and increase their overall productivity. AI enabled tech can support with decision-making through enhancing data analytics, financial analysis, market research and project planning – all integral as you scale.

All the founders had to do is share their business story with us, whilst highlighting how they’ve utilised the tech in preparation for The Pitch – just a handful of videos in exchange for £1,500 worth of tech. Sounds good, right?

How did this competition work?

It’s super simple – founder just applied to The Pitch UK and tick ‘yes’ for the Kit up with Currys Business question.

The two winners agreed to share a minimum of 5 videos explaining how they have made use of the devices during the build up to the competition. But this didn’t mean they had to have a large social media following as The Pitch team were on hand to support with content creation.
