Winners of the TechAlliance 60-second pitch contest

A 60-second pitch – some think it would be a simple task to master, but as the 16 participants in TechAlliance’s recent pitch contest soon learned, a lot can happen in one minute.

While you may not have a timer ticking away behind you, as our competitors did, it’s important to keep in mind that you risk losing your audience the more complex or lengthy your pitch gets. No matter if your audience is an investor, a customer or if you’re trying to recruit a new employee – K.I.S.S., or risk getting the kiss-off.
