About Peak PitchPeak Pitch is a mashup of a day of spring skiing with the elevator pitch / traditional venture business plan competition. It works like this – investors, wearing green ski bibs, pair off in the lift line for a ride to the top of the hill with an entrepreneur, wearing a blue bib. The entrepreneur then has the length of the chairlift to make her pitch before skiing to the bottom, finding another green bib, and doing it again. It is a consistently unique and entertaining networking event, and every year a number of funding connections are made.Founded by Borealis Ventures, the Inaugural Peak Pitch event was held March 10, 2005 at Mount Sunapee Resort in New Hampshire, with more than 100 entrepreneurs, investors, and business advisors participating. The event served as a precursor to the Start-Up New Hampshire Business Plan Competition 2005 (Start-Up NH 2005). The Peak Pitch ’12 program included events organized by local hosts to support entrepreneurial communities in New York, Vermont and New England. Local hosts included Fresh Tracks Capital (Vermont), and High Peaks Venture Partners (New York). Space is limited at all Peak Pitch events, so registration is required. Register here! |
