Thanks to the kind folks at Beta-i this year’s Lisbon Meetup And Pitch-Off will be amazing. It’s great to have such a responsive and understanding partner. That said, they are handling all the sponsorship and still need your help. Please email myself at mike AT beta.techcrunch.com or Ricardo Marvão <ricardo.marvao@beta-i.pt> if you would like to sponsor.
How To Apply For The Pitch-Off
I will pick eight or nine companies to pitch for a total of about 45 mins. Contestants will have two minutes to pitch (NO SLIDES) and 3 minutes of questions from myself and local judges we will announce here. The event will be in English. The winner will get a table at TC Disrupt Startup Alley in TechCrunch Disrupt London and the runner-up will get two tickets to the event. If you’d like to pitch at the event email mike AT techrunch.com, subject line “LisbonCrunch” with this info:
• Startup Name
• Website URL
• Contact Email
• CrunchBase Profile URL
• Describe your startup in 75 words or fewer
• Founders’ bios in 75 words or fewer
• Have you launched?
• Got funding and from who?
We’ll email you telling you who has been selected to pitch. (If you DON’T get a confirmation email that you’re pitching, then you’re not pitching.)
