August 2, Road Pitch competition at the Bennington Museum

The FreshTracks Capital Road Pitch is Vermont's premier entrepreneurial pitch event.  The event features a group of investors, entrepreneurs, coaches and mentors who travel the state by motorcycle and hear entrepreneurs pitch their business startup ideas.  This is a real live business pitch competition with investors and entrepreneurs, and is open to the public.

2017 is Bennington fifth year participating in the Road Pitch series, and we have developed a strong reputation for fielding competitive pitches.

The Road Pitch event will be on Wednesday, August 2 from 10am-noon at the Bennington Museum.  The winner will receive a $500 cash prize, and entry to the statewide “pitch-off” at Champlain College in October.  The winner of the October pitch-off will be awarded a $4,000 cash prize plus a year of mentoring from the panel.

​This is a free event open to the public.

A preliminary elimination round will be held on Thursday, July 27 from 5-8pm at The Lightning Jar coworking space in Bennington.  Please contact dimitri@lightningjarvt.com if you would like to pitch.
