3 Minute Company Pitch Video *
Your pitch video must have slides, be 5 minutes max, show your face on screen, and be uploaded to a site like Youtube or Google Drive. We recommend using a tool like Zoom or Loom. Paste the URL below and make sure we are able to access it (for example, on Youtube you need to make sure the video is not "Private"). This video will not be shared outside of the selection committee without your permission. Do not worry about production value with your video, we are more interested in you and your company than the "style" of your video. It must be a pitch presentation, not a demo video, as you will be doing a traditional "pitch for investment" type presentation live at the event.
