The Creative Coast has announced the return of its annual FastPitch

event, which will take place on May 24, 2023, from 4 pm - 6 pm at Service Brewing. The business pitch competition provides a platform for promising entrepreneurs starting new businesses or growing existing ones to each make a 5-minute pitch of their ventures in front of a live audience, including investors, for the chance to win from a $10k cash prize pool.

Startup applications are now open through 11:59 pm on April 30, 2023.

FastPitch was designed for students, early-stage companies, and established businesses who want to launch or expand their businesses. Whether a startup is only in the concept phase, re-inventing its business model, already bringing in revenue, or expanding on its existing business with a new idea, founders are encouraged to apply! Finalists will be contacted on May 5th via email.

Each finalist will be required to create a pitch deck and will receive guidance and coaching via a feedback session before FastPitch. During the competition, a panel of judges will assess and deliberate on the best pitches. This year’s $10k prize pool is provided by the Savannah Economic

Development Authority.

The cost to attend as an audience member is $30 (+ a small Eventbrite fee and taxes). Creative Coast Members receive a 50% discount on their ticket price. Tickets can be purchased by visiting https://thecreativecoast.org/programs/fastpitch/.

Sponsorship and volunteer opportunities are available for this event. For more information, contact [email protected] with inquiries.
