The winner will be invited to present at a Tech Coast Angels screening session and will be considered for funding.

CEOs who want to apply to be a Fast Pitch competitor should visit www.pitchtheangels.com now to submit an application. Applicants will be initially reviewed by Tech Coast Angels members starting in mid-January. More than twenty CEOs will be invited to participate in coaching sessions in February. Coaches will include Tech Coast Angels members and other experts. The coaches will select the best twelve companies to appear onstage on February 24th.

Plan to attend on February 24th beginning at 3 p.m. The keynote presentation will be given by Steve Streit, CEO of TCA-funded Green Dot, the leading provider of prepaid financial services in the United States and the owner and operator of the Green Dot Network, the largest cash reloading network in the United States. The program will also include a panel of CEOs discussing their funding war stories, a panel of angels and venture capitalists providing tips on how to get early stage funding, and the Fast Pitch competition itself. Dinner and refreshments will be served after the program at a networking event attended by investors, entrepreneurs and other industry experts. More details about the event agenda will be available in early January.

In the meantime, CEOs, should submit applications ASAP. Review of applications will begin in mid January and company screening sessions will begin in late January, so the sooner you get your application in, the better.Tweet
