It is again the time for all great minds to punch their pitch on the 8th of October! Aaltoes is organizing the first pitching evening of the semester @ Design Factory, the mecca of creative ideas. We strongly encourage you all who have a good idea to enroll and give your best shot or just show up and enjoy the show with like-minded people and Aaltoes sponsored refreshments.
The Aaltoes hosted pitching night last spring was a great success and it gave launch to several new businesses. Also for the audience, the event was a great chance for many to find out that making a pich is not exactly rocket science. Come and see it yourselves! Before that here’s a taste of last spring’s winning pitch.
Incentives for the competitors couldn’t be much better: the winner gets 1st round Tuli funding up to 5k and wins a trip to Stanford, USA with all the like-minded people from Aaltoes. Teams qualifying 2nd and 3rd will also be awarded. Additionally, to all teams, there’s a possibility to form contacts that will push your future business further. Furthermore, the top-three teams will get the chance to take part in Slush 2009.
Pitching rules are pretty simple: every participant has 4 minutes and 4 slides at tops. Wouldn’t do harm if the slides are structured as follows: the problem, the solution, the profitability of your idea and your needs regarding the possible funding.
Due to our funding program one must remember that at least one of the team members ought to be a student or a researcher of Aalto University. Also, existing companies cannot be funded.
For more information go our Facebook event and if you want to pitch, sign up here before 7th of October.
Wish to see all you guys there!
