The Pitcher is an annual pitching event giving entrepreneurs the opportunity to showcase their businesses in front of a large audience of investors, VCs, fellow entrepreneurs, journalists and mentors, and a chance to secure funding for their startups.

This year’s event is taking place at Workinton Levent 199, Istanbul, on 15 April 2017.

The event provides a unique opportunity for entrepreneurs to pitch their ideas without any ‘non-transparent’ elimination processes, and a chance to win prizes provided by TEB Private Angel Investment Platform, private mentoring sessions with Microsoft Turkey, and many other in-kind prizes.

The Pitcher hopes to create a regional network of stakeholders, who will get to meet with talented and ambitious entrepreneurs and be introduced to many game-changing ideas and aspiring projects, and to get familiar with emerging trends.

In addition to the pitching sessions, attendees can also join multiple conferences, seminars and workshops that will also be valuable for entrepreneurs.

The event is devoted to strengthening the local and global entrepreneurial ecosystem through connecting aspiring entrepreneurs with the right investors and mentors. The event is completely free for all pitchers, attendees and other startup enthusiasts, who would like to attend.
