Panel of Experts:

• A panel of experts have agreed to judge the CrowdPitch presentations

Audience Participation:

• Attendees in the audience will receive $100 of "FUN" money that they will use to "invest" in their favorite company pitch.  After all of the presentations, the audience will place their "FUN" money into their favorite CrowdPitch presentation.

Selecting the Winning Presenters:

• After all of the presentations, a winning presenter will be announced based on the amount of  "FUN" money that is "invested"

Mandatory Coaching Session (only for presenting companies):
