Join product creators and hosting providers in a unique, fast-paced pitching and networking experience focused on growing products in the WordPress ecosystem.
Each participant is given 90 seconds and a microphone to introduce their product and share what they’re looking for. Examples include:
- Distribution
- Collaboration
- Investment
This event happened for the first time at CloudFest 2024. Participation was free.
Who was there?
We invited a range of people from investors through to hosts. Along with this, we invited partners from across the ecosystem who can collaborate with you. Not only all of these people but your fellow pitchers are invaluable connections, listen to their pitches because you never know one of them might just fit yours and be a match.
Rules of the game
- 90 seconds
- No slides, no presentation format, just you and your words.
- Each name put into ‘hat’ and pulled out to present rapidly.
- Afterwards opportunity to be featured on WP Product Talk mini-interview.
- Afterwards opportunity to network and connected with other pitchers, those watching.
Pitch Tips for Pitchers
- Make sure you know your target audience.
- Your pitch can be shared later, are you having a colleague join perhaps? Get them to record it so you can share and reuse your pitch later.
- Don’t forget to network after the pitch.
- Be clear about what want, you have 90 seconds so make sure at least half of those is sharing what you want.
- Be able to say what your product does in one single sentence, this will help trim down your pitch.
- Speak slower than you think you need to – you’re going to be talking fast to chase the clock, but be sure to be audible.
Pitch Tips for Attendees
Coming to watch the Pitchers? Here are some tips to getting involved.
- If you have specific things you can offer, get in touch with the Pitcher during the event at the Networking opportunity after.
- You can also use the contact form right here to connect with the Pitch you want to.
- Make sure to note down each pitch as things are going to move fast, so keep this URL handy – we’ll also remind you during the event of it.
Above all have fun, PitchCamp might be fast paced but it’s an opportunity to hear some incredible stories of product makers and what they are looking for today.
