The Rotorua Pitch Night introduces investment ready businesses to prospective investors and helps builds an active local investor community in Rotorua. 

The Pitches:

Businesses will have 15 minutes to share crucial information about their business, what funds they need and why interested parties should invest. Businesses can be asking for equity investment, lending or a combination of both.

Each pitch will be followed by question time. There will be an Expert Panel to provide their thoughts on the pitch and ask any questions. If time allows, audience members can also ask questions.

Successful Pitch Applications will need to pay a Pitch Fee of $249+gst to secure their place in the Pitch Night Line-up.  We will have one FREE place for a non-profit. The Pitch Fee includes:

• Pitch Workshop
• 1-on-1 Pitch Coaching Session
• Marketing & Promotion of your Pitch on Facebook/Media
