How does it work?
Pitch@Palace aims to turn your business idea into reality by providing guidance and exposure. It culminates with the opportunity to pitch your idea at St James’ Palace.
Successful applicants will be invited to initial Mentoring sessions to network with Pitch@Palace Alumni and Elevators. They will support you through the process and help you to develop your idea.
You will then be invited to attend one of three On Tour events, which aim to connect entrepreneurs with local stakeholders. These will be held in Cheltenham, London and Huddersfield. From here, 42 entrepreneurs will be selected to go through to Boot Camp in Manchester.
Each Boot Camp attendee will be given the opportunity to pitch at St James’ Palace, with 12 entrepreneurs given a three-minute slot in front of the influential audience. The remaining 30 entrepreneurs will each have 30 second slots to showcase their idea.
