WHAT IS PITCH@PALACE? The Duke of York founded Pitch@Palace in 2014 to provide a platform to amplify and accelerate the work of Entrepreneurs. Pitch@Palace gives Entrepreneurs the opportunity to meet the people who can help make their business dreams become a reality.
Pitch@Palace guides, helps and connects Entrepreneurs and early-stage businesses with potential supporters, including CEOs, Influencers, Angels, Mentors and Business Partners.
The aim is to:
Create introductions to Mentors and Advisors;
Through our Audiences, provide access to Distribution Systems and Supply Chains;
Make Connections; and
Help with Investment
It costs nothing for Entrepreneurs to apply. 42 Entrepreneurs are selected for each event and, following participation, remain within the Pitch@Palace constellation for future support and development. Alumni Entrepreneurs continue to receive ongoing support, introductions and connections to the Pitch@Palace UK and Global network.
WHAT IS PITCH@PALACE GLOBAL? Pitch@Palace Global helps Entrepreneurs and Audiences build access and connectivity around the world. It delivers growing international scale to Pitch@Palace, helping Entrepreneurs to access new markets and find new partners and investors, building prosperity and creating jobs globally.
Developing this inter-connectivity amongst innovative businesses around the world supports the growth of all the international businesses and Entrepreneur Alumni.
WHAT IS PITCH@PALACE AUSTRALIA? Pitch@Palace Australia is a national platform which supports Entrepreneurs by connecting them to local and international networks, helping them to amplify their businesses. As part of the Pitch@Palace Global network, it builds connectivity between Australia and other markets around the world.
As Pitch@Palace Global seeks to develop and expand, Pitch@Palace Australia will be a key part of the network, and will continue to develop greater links between Entrepreneurship communities across the country.
