After some tough deliberations, we’re thrilled to announce the Varsity Pitch Competition 2014 semi-finalists.
We received a huge number of applications this year (over double the amount of last year) and the quality of applicants made it hard to create our shortlist!
We would like to say a huge thank you to everyone that applied. Condensing a business idea/venture into 60 seconds is tough work! So well done to all of you that entered, you are all amazing in our eyes.
Five applicants were shortlisted from each category (excluding BIPB's category). These were:
TATA Disruptive Business:
Xero Apps and Online:
Lloyds Bank Creative Industries:
BIPB Financial and Innovative Technologies:
London Metropolitan University Product Design:
Mustard Seed Social Impact:
The competition was fiercer than ever before, so for the first time ever, we’ve created a brand new category, Entertainment and Leisure!
The shortlisted candidates for this category are:
BigFish LittleFish Swimming Lessons Ltd
A massive congratulations to the shortlisted applicants! The next step for semi-finalists is Google Campus on Tuesday 28th October 2014.
Semi-finalists will then be whittled down to category finalists who will go through to Bootcamp at Rainmaking Loft (Friday 14th November).
We urge all applicants who didn’t make it to the semi-finals to continue pursuing their aspirations and to take advantage of all the opportunities available.
