Pitch your startup!

Pitch practice is on again! We’re giving you, the upcoming new startups of Perth, a chance to practice your pitch in front of the non-intimidating and supportive Morning Startup audience.

**Why pitch?**
Because clearly communicating what your startup is about is an essential skill that only gets better with practice. Every pitch will teach you something about the way you tell your story, allowing you to refine it so it has an even bigger impact on the next audience.

This is a great opportunity to get some practice under your belt in a casual, friendly atmosphere.

If you’re reading this thinking “I should do it, but it’s totally out of my comfort zone”, then email us now ([email protected]) before you give yourself another excuse not to!

**The plan**
Each startup gets exactly three minutes to pitch and two minutes to answer questions from the audience.

**Only three minutes? WTF?!**
Yeah, that’s right. You should be able to communicate your startup’s value in under three minutes. This prevents waffling, keeps the audience focused, and gives more people the opportunity to have a go!

You need a clear, succinct pitch that clearly communicates who your customers are, the problem your solving, and your unique advantage.

Here are a couple of good resource to help nail down a great pitch:

**Register to pitch**
Spaces are limited, so if you’re interested in pitching, email us ASAP at [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]). Include your **contact details** and a quick **description of your startup** and we’ll be in touch!

You must be available to pitch *in person* at Riff (45 St Georges Tce, Perth) between 7:30 am and 9:00 am on Wednesday June 7th.

*Note: We’re looking for innovative, early-stage startups or ideas. Do not apply to pitch a traditional service/business such as a business/life coach, marketing agency, accounting firm etc.*
