PITCH ARENA – connecting innovative companies with growth capital

The PITCH ARENA event is all about inspiring, educating and connecting. We are honored to be chosen as one of five growth companies which are going to present their innovative businesses in front of a jury of seasoned investors:

• JUST Inc., a San Francisco-based food tech company disrupting the food industry with plant-based products.
• ScanTrust provides a secure cloud-based IoT platform for production authentication and supply chain visibility solution.

• PAIRfect is a unique digital program for couples to maintain and improve their relationship.
• Inyova Impact Investing makes it easy to invest in companies that create positive environmental & social impact – without compromising financial returns.

The event is designed to bring growth companies together with large investors. In addition to matching attractive, pre-screened companies with investors, the event also has a clear educational component. To this end, the event sets out to share insights with aspiring entrepreneurs with respect to the skills necessary to building strong business ideas and presenting them in a compelling fashion. The jury of large investors is also selected to share valuable knowledge with the intention of helping participating companies grow and prosper. In this way, the event should inspire aspiring entrepreneurs and offer investors access to attractive investment opportunities.

Format: Each Founder gives a 10’ pitch presentation in the growth company competition, followed by 10’ Q&A with a jury consisting of established capital owners. In addition, the audience votes anonymously to rank the quality of the business ideas. RFS will help the winners of the audience prize raise capital via 1-on-1 meetings with large investors.
