Categories:

What if a group of tech startup experts all pitched the same company, the goal being to show the best way to do a pitch? That is what PADT’s Pitch Perfect is about.   We are asking some of Arizona’s most talented investors, entrepreneurs, and mentors to volunteert where they can show the right way to pitch a technology startup. And the best presenters will receive the incredible “Unicorn Cup” award – a fine work of craftsmanship handcrafted in a foreign land.

This event is part of our Nerdtoberfest celebration on October 27th, 2016 and will be from 4:30-6:00, right before our open house. So far CEI has stepped up as a competitor, and we are looking for 3 more experienced people to take the challenge.

shutterstock_startups1 We will have four teams have 10 minutes each to present the company, followed by 5 minutes of questions from the judges.  Each company gets the same Angel Funding application for the company: Barqk! – Let your dog speak.

Anyone can attend and we will be streaming the presentations live.  Just register for our Nerdtoberfest, www.padtinc.com/nerdtoberfest, if you would like to attend.

We are still looking for Judges and presenters, so email Eric Miller (eric.miller@padtinc.com) if you are interested in volunteering for either.
