The StartUp Fayette Pitch Contest

November 16, 2021

Thank you to our sponsors, for contributing to this event.

Do you have a great idea? Pitch it!

The Fayette Chamber of Commerce and StartUp Fayette have partnered to bring a pitch contest to Fayette County.

PITCHING 101
A pitch contest is an opportunity for entrepreneurs to present their business concept to an expert panel in the hope of winning a cash prize. Participating is a great way to gain experience and receive feedback from professionals.

A panel of pitch committee volunteers will score and analyze the executive summary, operating, managerial, financial, and marketing plans in your application. Those selected for the pitch contest will have a 5 minutes to pitch followed by 5 minutes for questions and answers with the judges.

STARTUP FAYETTE
Our mission is to create an ecosystem in Fayette County that catalyzes innovation and growth through entrepreneurial startups.

We are here to help you grow your business. As you communicate your idea and tap into your creative energy, there are funding resources and community partners who can assist you in launching, growing and accelerating your business. The makeup of small business development is based on a business owner having accessibility to resources to grow their business.

Each monthly StartUp Fayette event is a building block that puts your business one step closer to success.

Pitch contest participants are strongly encouraged to attend at least three in-person and/or online StartUp Fayette sessions prior to entering the Pitch Contest. StartUp Fayette events happen on the third Tuesday of each month, 5:30-7:00PM, in-person at Launch and Go Workspace in Peachtree City, Georgia.
