Regular readers will know that I am a huge fan of the elevator pitch. I have also been doing a great deal of work recently with a number of agencies and looking at different ways to support new and young businesses. Inspired by Techcrunch and New East Manchester’s, The EnterPrize I decided to run a little competition where you could win £5 000 for your businesses.

What’s the deal

• To participate in this competition contestants must submit a video pitch (2 minutes max) for funding your business
• Each video must be filmed in a lift / elevator
• Upload your video to Youtube or similar and then email me the embed link ( pvalia@businessangelblog.com)
• I will add your videos to http://www.wooshare.com/its_a_pitch where you can vote on yours and other video pitches
• The top 20 scoring videos on the 1st of November will then go into a final round where the winner will be judged by a panel of judges, (tba but will be made-up of a number of high profile entrepreneurs)
• The winner will be announced on the 11th of December 2008 at the EnterPrize Awards ceremony in Manchester
• If you enter you allow me the opportunity to raise funds for your business if you wish to do so*

Is that it?

Pretty much yep. The best pitch wins their business £5000

What’s in it for me

A few things really

1. Entrants get to view one of my investments www.wooshare.com

2. I get to promote my blog

3. I get to support a new and upcoming business

4. I get to see a whole host of interesting business that I may be interested in helping raise funds if they so need it

Good Luck

Oh here are the terms and conditions
