Submit a Video Elevator Pitch to the Pitch 4 Profit Contest

by Ben Yoskovitz on January 25th, 2007

Sean Wise, who I previously interviewed about venture capital, startup companies and his consulting business pointed me to a new Canadian site called Pitch 4 Profit.

It’s a contest where you submit a video elevator pitch, which a panel of judges reviews.

For people looking to raise over $1,000,000 you could win a chance to pitch a bunch of investors at the 2007 Canadian Venture Forum. If you’re looking for under $1,000,000, you could win a chance to pitch the Dragons on the CBC television show, The Dragons’ Den.

The contest is only available to Canadian residents (excluding people from Quebec), so the audience is a bit limited, but it could be a very entertaining and interesting way of getting in front of some VCs and worthwhile advisors. The contest ends February 15th, so you still have a couple weeks to submit your entry.

So if you’re a startup, in Canada (not Quebec) and looking to get some attention, buzz and perhaps some money, give it a try.

For the rest of us, the site could be quite entertaining, since we’ll get to see the videos, and vote on them, once the contest submission deadline has passed.

Go check out Pitch 4 Profit.
