Come and vote for the company you think has the most viable business plan. Audience members will vote for the company they think delivered the best overall pitch. The winner will be guaranteed a spot to deliver a “wildcard” pitch at the Willamette Angel Conference on May 12th in Corvallis. Come out and support the amazing and talented start-ups companies in our region!

This Smart-ups is going to be an Ignite-style business plan competition (13 slides, slides automatically advance every 15 seconds = 3.5 minutes to pitch your business plan). It’s an exciting competition – one you won’t want to miss! 

Any emerging growth start-up company (with an “investor-ready” plan) in the Willamette Valley can submit for the opportunity to present at this pub-talk. The audience will vote for the best overall pitch/plan.

The winner of this event will receive:

  • A slot to present again in the “wildcard” segment of the Willamette Angel Conference submission process (conference is May 12, 2010 in Corvallis) – meaning they will have their $199 conference submission fee waived, and they will deliver a 3.5 minute speed pitch at the conference. One “wildcard” pitch at the WAC will get the opportunity to deliver a full 10-minutes pitch and become eligible for the investment prize.

*** You must submit your executive summary and your 13 slides BEFORE 5pm, March 18th.
