Let’s get ready to rumble! Join us ringside as we host the first Communitech Startup Smackdown.
What is a Startup Smackdown? It’s a fast pitch competition, where 10 startups are called to the ring to pitch in front of a panel of judges.
And we have a great panel of judges. They include Brad Feld (Foundry Group), Carol Leaman (Axonify), Mark McArdle (former CEO tinyHippos), and Derek Smyth (OMERS). Trust us, these judges won’t hold back with their comments. If you’re invited into the ring you'd better be ready to defend yourself.
Our ref for the evening is Ryan Coelho from GameOn Leadership, a speaker sponsor.
The judges will critique the pitches in front of a live audience and the startup with the best pitch will be crowned the winner of the Startup Smackdown. Competing companies will be announced shortly. Register today to watch startups pitch it to win it.
A special thanks to Debbie Landa as Startup Smackdown originated at the Grow Conference. GROW will be hosting GROWTalks this February 21st in Toronto. The event focuses on bringing together entrepreneurs, marketers, product managers, designers and startups. For more information, click here.
We'll be announcing the companies brave enough to enter the ring soon! Check back for more details.
