NimblePitch and RVA Startup Weekend – WOW!

What a weekend! 85 aspiring entrepreneurs, 22 mentors, 10 organizers, 5 judges, 2 guest speakers, 38 nervous pitches, 12 teams working almost 54 hours straight, all distilled down to this: 3 winning teams. If an event can be energizing and exhausting at the same time, then the RVA Startup Weekend was it. The most amazing thing, however, is the quality of those twelve 5-minute pitches at the end. They were well-thought out, researched and branded, with business models lined up and finances planned. Every one of them worthwhile. We were proud to be part of it as organizer and mentor and pleased to be able to offer a NimblePitch package to one of the winners. Congratulations to Event Spaces, NimblePitch Winner Event Spaces delivered a one-stop solution to a problem that plagues event planners everywhere – details on facilities for an upcoming event. Who has a room the right size for your event? Is it available? What kind of facilities does it have for serving food? Does it have a projector? Is there room for dancing and power outlets for a band or deejay? Event Spaces will help put one-stop shopping into event planning. Event Spaces received a NimblePitch presentation to help them sell their idea to event planners and those with spaces to lend or rent in Richmond and beyond. We’re excited to be working with the Event Spaces team! View the final pitches of each of the three winners, including Event Spaces.
