V-Hub partners with The Pitch

V-Hub’s ongoing mission is to help the UK’s small businesses. That’s why we have teamed up with The Pitch; a fantastic supporter of startups who provide advice, mentoring, investor introductions and grants to founders from across the UK.

The Pitch is an annual startup competition designed for purpose-led businesses, with the aim of helping entrepreneurs get the tools, advice and confidence they need to see their business soar. Previous alumni of The Pitch competition are Oddbox, By Rotation and HANX. 

The Pitch is the stage for startup success. They give purpose-led businesses the tools they need to change the world, such as confidence building techniques, ways to hone their pitch and get investment ready.

Founders who apply have the chance to attend an online pitching workshop with one of their pitching coaches. The business founders then compete in the live event, giving a 90-second pitch to investors and industry experts.

The Pitch's panel of judges will rate pitchers on the below criteria, with the top startup from each region heading to The Pitch Final in London, where they will pitch to industry-leading investors and entrepreneurs.
