Deborah Gage at the San Francisco Chronicle is doing her part to help startups get exposure and maybe some VC funding. The program is called “What’s Your Pitch?” You can submit your business idea to the Chronicle where it will be reviewed by a panel of VCs. The winners will be published in the Chronicle along with VC reactions and suggestions.
Money to fund startups is as scarce as it's been in years. But we all know that successful businesses often are forged during tough economic times. With this in mind, The Chronicle is giving entrepreneurs a chance to pitch their startup idea in the newspaper (and they can be based anywhere, not just San Francisco). The winners will get great exposure, along with suggestions from some venture capitalists who will review the ideas.
Please send your "elevator pitch" -- your idea, the benefit of your idea and why you deserve to get funding -- in 300 words or less, to [email protected] ASAP. Include your contact information and, if you have one, a picture of yourself or your product.
The best and strongest ideas will be picked and published in the Business section of the San Francisco Chronicle on February 24. Move fast, get noticed, and get started! Good luck!
