Fifteen Irish businesses will today take part in Virgin Media’s VOOM 2016 Pitchathon in London, the biggest and most valuable pitch competition in Ireland and the UK with a total prize fund of €1.2 million. People can watch the pitches live at www.vmbvoom.com.
The Irish candidates are among 160 top businesses shortlisted across each of the two competition categories – ‘Start-up and Grow’ – after over half a million public votes were cast across Ireland and the UK. Taking place over 29 hours, from 11am on Wednesday 1st June to 4 pm on Thursday 2nd June, the #VOOM 2016 Pitchathon is also a live-streamed attempt at a Guinness World Record, featuring 160 back-to-back pitches.
