Home > Northwest Colorado Business Pitch Competition
In sponsorship and coordination with local development organizations, the Town of Hayden is presenting a business pitch competition at Hayden Center on October 2, 2021. After a careful selection process, up to fifteen applicants will be given the opportunity to present a 5-minute pitch to a panel of four officials from local government, venture capital firms, and businesses, along with up to 150-people of the Yampa Valley community. A group of six finalists will then be asked a series of follow-up questions from the judges, and the winning teams will win $10,000, $3,000, and $1,000, along with a $1,000 prize to be awarded by the audience.
The application period for the NW Colorado Business Pitch competition has now closed. Reserve tickets to attend:
All first-round presenters will have up to 5 minutes to present to the judging panel. After all participants have presented, up to 6 will be selected for a follow-up Q&A from the judges lasting a further 5-10 minutes. The judges will rank the three winning participants and the audience will award an additional prize to a participant. A winning team can also win the Audience Favorite award; they are not excluded from this consideration.
