Submit your applications and get the chance to pitch your product to potential investors on the GOAB stage,\u201d said Tina Amper, TechTalks founder and GOAB lead organizer.<\/p>\n<p>The pitchfest is open to all startups less than 3 years old and at the early stage with revenue for at least 6 months. However, only startups with a functional prototype or production-level products for demonstration are eligible to participate.<\/p>\n<p>The announcement of the top 5 startups, which will be invited to pitch in person during the GOAB confab, will be on\u00a0August 4. The winning teams must be able to attend in person in order to pitch at GOAB.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhile it\u2019s true that pitching does not guarantee that your startup will get funded. The act of pitching in a public venue is a step forward in getting you publicity, support, and feedback from the community,\u201d said Amper.<\/p>\n<p>She said GOAB pitchfest is the best venue to build a relationship with the right mentor or investor who understands a startup\u2019s niche or boost its chances to make it big by ensuring that their product meets rigorous public expectations.<\/p>\n<p>GOAB conference ticket discounts will also apply to the first 20 teams who will apply for the pitchfest. They will receive the promo code when they complete your application. However, all startups are responsible for their own airfare and accommodation.<\/p>\n<p>PLDT, Smart, Voyager, PayMaya, ePLDT, Smart DevNet, PLDT Enterprise, and PLDT Innolab are supporting GOAB\u00a0as co-presenters while ASPACE Philippines is co-producer.
