StartupNation has launched the 2009 “Elevator Pitch†contest to recognize the next great business ideas and entrepreneurs worthy of funding.
Sponsored by Toshiba America Information Systems and GoToMeeting and Citrix Online, the winning entrepreneurs will receive a pre-arranged one-hour presentation to top tier investors and give them a competitive edge in seeking investment in this challenging economic climate.
Contestants interested in competing in the contest can submit an video pitch until March 20, 2009. Video submissions should be quick-hitting business plan pitches designed to entice investors (thirty seconds and 100-150 words). The top 100 contestants will be selected by popular vote and then judged by a panel of StartupNation judges as well as an outside panel of renowned angel and seed stage venture capital investors. The top five pitchers will be announced on April 7, 2009.
