The Tezos Boston Pitch Competition is a series of pitch contests in Q1 2020 throughout Massachusetts (Babson college, Worcester, Boston) where registered teams will compete over five hour periods to refine and present their business pitches to judges for a set of prizes.
The requirements are not to build an extensive code repository but rather focus on the general business plan of their project.
The projects
must include Tezos in the pitch. This will allow for a wider variety of entrants to get involved as they will not be intimidated by rigorous technological requirements.
The theme for the pitch competitions will be aligned with the MIT Bitcoin Expo Hackathon —
“Building the Stack”. The purpose of this alignment is to prepare the attendees for the MIT Bitcoin Expo Hackathon where we will ultimately encourage them to register and participate. This is where the connection of business and developer backgrounds will be made. Not only are we giving the attendees a chance to practice their pitch skills in a formalized arena, but we are preparing them for the larger goal of rounding out their teams in a more prestige setting.
Did we mention there will be prizes? The Tezos Boston Pitch Competition will also award teams that participate fully as well as larger awards for the winning teams. We will also be partnering with local community businesses to provide media coverage of the events so the global community can stay informed on our efforts. We are excited to see what Tezos projects emerge from this experience and are eager to add this to the list of annual events that Tezos Boston runs.
