​​
Pull Up & Pitch is the first mobile business activation of it’s kind providing a
fast-paced, highly entertaining set of qualification rounds, leading to one
final round where judges determine the winners.
​
Pull Up & Pitch draws business owners who would not normally apply for a
pitch competition due to feeling that pitch competitions exclude small
business owners or are only for tech companies.
​
Participants are small business owners, entrepreneurs, and creatives.
Pull Up & Pitch is a great fit for a festival activation, outdoor sports arena,
or for a touring activation.
We have hosted
over 50 pitch competitions
across 10 cities
The Challenge
Our
Solution
The current way that founders are discovered
and funded is exclusive, inequitable & inaccessible.
​
Pull Up & Pitch is a beacon
for discovering and funding
the next great founders,
where they are.
