Pitcher’s Platform at Social Finance Fair 2015 - Grant Award and Social Finance Mentor Opportunity

Have you got a social enterprise business idea you want to kickstart?

Are you a current social enterprise or entrepreneur looking to diversify or develop a new product or service?

As part of Social Enterprise West Midlands Social Finance Fair on the 1st October we are providing up to 4 social enterprises or social entrepreneurs the opportunity to pitch for an agreed amount of seed investment/grant from the Pitchers Platform sponsor and a Social Finance Mentor.

Sponsored by BCRS Business Loans the Pitch will take place as part of the conference with a panel of Social Finance experts in front of the event audience.

The enterprise or entrepreneur must:

• be ready to trade/currently trading, be constituted under one of the 9 legal structures,
• demonstrate a passion for the product and service and, most importantly, see the market opportunity and explain who is going to buy the product or service!
• illustrate what the money will be used for,
• demonstrate how they will measure journey and product/service delivery.

The winning pitch will be awarded a £500 award grant and a Social Finance Mentor for the year*
