The best way to find growth capital is to apply to a venture summit where you can speed pitch your ideas to several investors face-to-face in a single day. One such example is The Speed Venture Summit, the premier speed-dating-style event for fast-growth businesses and investors in New England. http://www.speedventuresummit.org; and follow the virtual discussion at Twitter #SVSNE

We are almost ready to post our pitch. What are the size requirements for our video? Both megabytes and dimensions, cant find them anywhere. I’m sure they are listed as we enter the competition but I want to have my video sized and ready before I go through the “enter” process. Look forward to pitching and we appreciate the opportunity!

fixed it, Veronica. now, throw it together and get out the vote! but it’s not just about votes, it’s about the rating each voter gives you each time they vote for you. the formula is votes multiplied by average rating.

I was a little confused with the dates of submission. Here it says that the top 100 will be chosen after March 2nd, but on the official rules page it says March 20th. Was wondering which one, because it makes a big difference on how much time I have to throw this together.

Thanks

ooh this sounds like fun!
I love the last line: “Are you going up or going down?”
