How it Works:

Pitching Companies:
FundingUniverse will select several companies to present on-stage at the LivePitch event.  The presenting companies must agree to present in front of a panel of experts and a live audience.

Panel of Angel Investors:
The panel of experts that have agreed to judge the LivePitch presentations:

• Steve Grizzell: Innoventures Capital
• Dan McPhun: Park City Angels
• Jeremy Hanks: Founder and Chairman of Doba
• Mark Bonham: Ray Quinney and Nebeker
• Kent Thomas: CFO Solutions and member of Olympus Angels

Audience Participation:
Attendees in the audience will receive $100 of play "Monopoly" money that they will use to "invest" in their favorite company pitch.  After all of the presentations, the audience will place their monopoly cash into their favorite LivePitch presentation.

Selecting the Winning Presenters:
After all of the presentations, 2 winning presenters will be announced based on the amount of "monopoly cash" that is "invested" (one by the panel of expert investors and the other by the audience).

Difference between Speedpitching Luncheon and Livepitch and Networking event:

FundingUniverse's next Speedpitching Luncheon will be June 4th from 11:00-1:30 pm.  Speedpitching is an event created to help connect entrepreneurs looking to raise captial with local investors.  It is exculisve to those entrepreneurs selected to present, investors and sponsors only, no observers.

This LivePitch and networking event is open to all entrepreneurs, investors and service providers.  Those presenting will pitch to a live audience and panel of experts.  Followed by a Q and A session and feedback. The audience and expert panel will then vote for the best presentation.  It's a great opportunity for entrepreneurs to practice their pitch, get feedback on presentation and network for recruiting, hiring or building partnerships.  Although this event is not catered to raising capital like the Speedpitching event is designed to do.  Even if not interested in presenting, come to network and meet other entrepreneurs, investors and service providers.
