Fundfindr Announces Pitches Warmup Winner
Concurrent to the New Ventures BC Competition, Fundfindr (also a NVBC competitor), ran a competition of their own, called the Pitchies Warmup, exclusively for NVBC competitors. Entrants were challenged to submit an elevator pitch video to the Fundfindr site. Today, the winners of that were announced, with the grand prize of a weekend in Whistler being awarded to Nikki Layton of Volo Innovations. Unfortunately, Nikki didn’t make it through to round 3 of the NVBC competition, but with her pitching skills, should have no problem wooing investors. Runners up include Pneuvation, Cellmaps, and Adhack. You can watch the winning video here:
There’s still opportunity to enter into the Pitchies main event, already going on.

Make your elevator speeches powerful by using a software that tests your words for their positivity. Keep tweaking the statement until you reach a high score. One to try is Glyphius. You’ll have a dynamic elevator speech in no time.
