Our first Pitch Night is for creative and media founders who are less than 12 months into their journey. There's no polished five-year plan required, just something you're building and ready to say out loud (with a deck, ofc).

Checklist:

  • ‘Creative’ is broad - if you think it’s creative, it probably is

  • It can be just an idea, it doesn’t have to be a business

  • If you are a business, you need to be less than 12 months old (exceptions can be made, tell us why via the form)

  • It can be a tech-based solution in creative or media

  • You don’t have to have pitched before - first-timers welcome

We're excited to announce Parminder Vir OBE, Tony Hyland MBE, Nanna S S. and Marcus Gibbs, CAIA as our panelists who will give real, useful feedback to our pitchers on the night.

In partnership with Afribond.
