Described in the advertising blurb as "an evening of fun, action, participation and networking ", in my view this event certainly lived up to expectations.
We were thrilled to see our very own Networking World Alliance Partner Peter Djurovich extremely well represented in the Pitching Ring by his son Ryan. Ryan was a late entry in the pitch so was completely unprepared but despite that ended up in the top 4. Well done Ryan!.

So what is Pitch Club?
Basically 10 selected ventures get 90 seconds to pitch and impress the audience on their business venture. Typically with a view to attracting the interest of investors. The crowd is then invited to vote and comment in syndicates.
Here's where the networking opportunities arise. Very cleverly we were made to move in order to form new groups so that we could have our say in the vote.
After the scores were tallied the top 4 entrepreneurs were invited back for 4 more minutes of fame. Then a final winner was selected.
The evening was MC'd by James Tuckerman, Editor-in-Chief Australian Anthill Magazine.
Only one complaint Pitch Club Team Where were the women pitchers?????

James Tuckerman, Pitch Club Co-Founder: Good question... Where were the women? There were plenty in the crowd but few on the stage. I also noticed that only one of the crowd questions came from a woman.
Calling all women entrepreneurs...
Get in touch with Peter Christo and arrange to pitch your business idea. The Pitch Club crowd is always incredibly supportive and the feedback from those who take the plunge is always positive.
I would like to get in touch with Peter Christo, but am having problems finding contact information for The Pitch Club. Please help.
