Testimonials from Past Contestants:

“There are several reasons people should apply to this event. First of all, awareness. To get out there and get the message out is critical. The second thing, of course, is you want to win. The third reason is just to improve your own ability to present, whether it's raising money or just sales or getting people to buy into the concept, distribution partners, whomever it may be.”

“There's no reason not to apply. Not only do you have the chance of winning, but you also are getting questions, getting grilled on your business by a panel of extremely knowledgeable subscription experts. I mean, that in itself is so valuable, for them to try to poke holes in your business and offer advice to you.”

“If you're going to be in business and you really are focused on building something bigger than yourself, then participating in a pitch competition like this is a great move for you. It's about you sharing your story. It's about you sharing your passion.”

"You're not losing anything. Even if you don't make it, you just got exposure and you just learned a ton of useful insights. It’s a great experience.”

“There's a lot of knowledge, even though we're just starting out as a group or core, there's a lot of knowledge that I look forward to tapping into and contributing to.”
