Now accepting applications for the Hawaii Entrepreneur Pitch Competition – State Wide

Deadline to apply is January 19

As part of the Road to IPO event, we invite Hawaii entrepreneurs to participate in the 2011 Hawaii Entrepreneur Pitch Competition. This Pitch Competition focuses on “Venture Ready Companies”, referring to companies who are currently raising venture financing.

Participating companies will get coaching, an opportunity to pitch to investors and a chance to win a VC Networking trip to Silicon Valley. The event targets “VC Ready” companies and is held over a period of about one month for participating companies.

Companies who qualify for the event will be assigned a coach who will work with members of the team to perfect the pitch. There will be a “semi-final” pitch round held February 16 leading up to the final round. The final round will be held February 23 in conjunction with a NASDAQ IPO Workshop.

Entrepreneurs from every island are welcome to participate!
Please note that if selected, entrepreneurs need to be present at the semi-final pitch round on February 16 and the final pitch round on February 23 (in conjunction with the IPO workshop).
