After Pitch Night, each team with a viable business idea will move forward in the coming months to open and grow their business, and will seek venture capital to help in this critical phase of development. We ask investors to take this opportunity to pledge their support for an individual team and its business idea, and become more closely involved in the team’s success. Use this link when you wish to make a more substantial investment, with the expectation of a return on that investment.
