If you haven’t gotten tickets to the grand finale of StartSLC’s $250,000 Pitch Competition and the Utah Startup Awards, you should be ashamed beyond all belief.
Stop procrastinating, stop twiddling your thumbs, stop everything you’re doing. If you haven’t gotten tickets to the grand finale of StartSLC’s $250,000 Pitch Competition and the Utah Startup Awards, you should be ashamed beyond all belief. There is no excuse and time is dwindling — January 31 quickly approaches. RSVP now to partake of the sweetest fruit the Utah startup scene has to offer.
Dinner will be served, and SLUG Magazine, Overstock, and SpinGo will be hosting an epic after-party. Dirty dancing is optional.
The judges’ choice for winner of StartSLC’s pitch competition will receive a grand prize of $150,000, with the runner-up receiving $50,000. Only those who RSVP to this event will be able to vote to decide the Audience Choice Award, also worth $50,000.
The pitch competition will be immediately followed by StartSLC’s keynote speaker, Pluralsight CEO Aaron Skonnard, after which the Utah Startup Awards ceremony will begin and the winners of the pitch competition will be announced.
