Partnering with City of Austin, US Business Council for Sustainable Development, Austin Young Chamber to host Reverse Pitch 2021
For the past 5 years, I’ve been an active participant and advocate for Austin’s Reverse Pitch competition and this year I’m signed up as a mentor and the TinyHackerHouse campaign is now an official partner with the City of Austin to support new sustainable ideas..
Entrepreneurs are used to pitching their business idea to investors, partners, and anyone they might share an elevator ride with. In this competition, the tables turn. The [RE]verse Pitch Competition helps turn valuable raw materials that are currently leaving local businesses, non-profits, and institutions as waste into the raw materials for new or expanding social enterprises.
NEW THIS YEAR
Contestants can use a byproduct materials pitched at the [RE]verse Pitch Material Supplier Pitch Event, OR source their own byproduct material.
Contestants will submit their Contestant Application where up to four teams will be named [RE]verse Pitch Innovation Fellows and win the Innovation Fellow Prizes, including entry into the Innovation Fellows Accelerator from April through July.
Innovation Fellows will have the opportunity to pitch in front of potential investors at the inaugural Circular Austin Showcase in July 2021.
Virtual Opening Pitch
