Where our ventures pitch their ideas
Pitch & 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.
- Each venture is given 5 minutes to pitch their idea, outlining their concept, value proposition, market potential, and other essential elements, supported by a 10-slide presentation.
- After each pitch, Coaches and Mentors will provide feedback, offering valuable insights, suggestions, and relevant comments.
- Once all ventures have presented, the audience will vote for their favourite pitch, with prizes awarded to the top 3.
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.
