The Pitch 2013 organised by BusinessZone.co.uk has chosen 50 entrepreneurs to compete at The Pitch Live in Bristol on 25 September, including our very own Innovating for Growth business, Pleasecycle.

Business support worth thousands of pounds will be awarded to one overall winner, while all those taking part will have the chance to secure a share of £275,000 equity investment.

A full list of the 50 is available at www.thepitchuk.com/shortlist

During The Pitch Live in September, the business owners will pitch live on stage to judges Karen Darby, serial entrepreneur and founder of Crowdmission.com, Lara Morgan, founder of Pacific Direct and Company Shortcuts, Duane Jackson, chief executive of software company KashFlow and Charles Carter from ICAEW.

At the same time, investors Martin Bowles from Horatio Investments, Ben Heald from Sift and Gustavo Trujillo from Heron Capital Partners will observe those competing and decide who they would like to back.

Audience tickets to The Pitch Live cost £10 and includes all-day entrance and food and drink plus access to the live pitching, several business workshops and a pop-up shop featuring independent Bristol retailers.

In addition, the cost of the ticket will be returned to delegates as Bristol Pounds, Bristol’s local currency which can be spent with hundreds of businesses in the city.

Best of luck to all businesses and in particular Pleasecycle!
