Pitch & Judge

Where our ventures pitch their ideas

Pitch and Judge is an opportunity for Accelerate Cambridge entrepreneurs to pitch their business ideas to an audience made up of their peers, Coaches, Mentors, and the wider business community.

It’s a great forum for entrepreneurs to practice their pitches, receive invaluable feedback and for the audience to learn more about the ventures on the Accelerate Cambridge programme.

If you're going to be looking for funding you need to practice your pitch several times in front of an audience. The friendly pitch sessions and constructive feedback are probably the most valuable bit of the Accelerate programme and it would be foolish not to take advantage of them. When you do it for real, you're going to be up against people who have pitched dozens or even hundreds of times before. If you go into that without practice you are extremely unlikely to be successful. It's also never too early to start practicing. Even if you're still working on your idea and proposition there's nothing like having to condense it down to a short presentation to force you to do the hard thinking about your business.
