We provide road-weary corporates a way to discover new and innovative startups online

The Virtual Startup Pitches is an effective and convenient platform for Fortune 500 technology scouts, R&D people, corporate venture capitalists, and corporate innovation officers to discover startups for corporate strategic partnerships and investments.

These online sessions are hosted via GotoWebinar so you can watch it at your desk or via your mobile device. Each session features a mix of 5-7 startups in these main technical areas:

  • Pharma and Medical Devices
  • Advanced Manufacturing
  • Chemicals and Clean Technology
  • Information and Communications Technology
Each startup is given 5-minutes to present and the audience is allowed 5 minutes to ask questions after each pitch.
