Think you have a great elevator pitch? In case you're not familiar with the expression, an "elevator pitch" is a quick overview of an idea for a product, service or business. The name reflects the idea that the pitch can be delivered in the time span of an elevator ride.
StartupNation, in conjunction with sponsors Toshiba and Citrix, is now holding their 2009 Elevator Pitch Contest. You could win a Toshiba laptop, a one-year GoToMeeting account and a chance to present to a group of top tier investors.
Contestants interested in competing in the contest can submit a video pitch to http://www.startupnation.com/elevator-pitch-2009 through March 20, 2009. Video submissions should be 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 angel and seed stage venture capital investors.
On April 7, the top five will be announced and invited to participate in a 60-minute, GoToMeeting-hosted online meeting with a panel of seed stage investors whose funds under management exceed $1 billion collectively.
This is a great opportunity for relatively little effort.
