Headline partners
Microsoft Azure
Microsoft Azure offers a flexible, enterprise-grade cloud computing platform to startups. It provides the freedom to build, manage and deploy applications using your favourite tools and frameworks.
The Microsoft team is working with The Pitch to identify exciting, B2B startups. They’re offering £18,000 of free cloud credits, Office 365 Business Premium and Visual Studio licenses. All provided with support from Microsoft’s extensive partner ecosystem to help you optimise and deploy your product.
Email Microsoft@ThePitch.uk to see if you qualify (it helps if you’ve completed your application to The Pitch first).
Crowdcube
Equity crowdfunding platform Crowdcube started with a mission to democratise investment. The team’s helped over 800 startups raise more than £625m, including Pitch alumni like Much Better Adventures and Rockit.
We’re really excited to have Crowdcube founder Darren Westlake as a judge too. The winner gets a money-can’t-buy mentoring package – including one-on-one time with Darren.
Startups that enter The Pitch benefit from lower Crowdcube success fees and dedicated account managers. The top 300 startups get hands-on help from Crowdcube’s team at the boot camps.
