Applications for The Pitch 2010 are now being accepted by Sift Media.
The Dragons’ Den style competition is now in its third year, and this year is running as part of The Business Factory, an initiative to support small business entrepreneurs.
Current and budding entrepreneurs will have the opportunity to pitch their business idea to a panel of experts – such as ex-Dragon Doug Richard – as they look to secure investment and top business advice.
Once again, there will be five regional heats before the national final held in London in November, during The Business Factory event.
The regional heats will take place as follows:
- South West heat: Monday 21st June in Bristol
- Northern heat: Thursday 1st July in Liverpool
- South East heat: Thursday 15th July in London
- Scottish heat: Thursday 29th July in Edinburgh
- Midlands heat: Thursday 5th August in Birmingham
The deadline for entries for all regional heats is Tuesday 15th June.
To be eligible for the competition, you must be a UK resident and at least 16 years old at the time of entry. Your business must be UK based, privately owned company, no more than three years old at date of entry and with no more than 20 staff. You can also enter if you do not have a business yet, but do have a viable business idea.
To enter, visit the Pitch 2010 and download the attached entry form. Your entry will be judged by The Pitch’s team of experts, with the best making it through to the regional heats.
