Ready, Set, Pitch!

Do you think your business idea has what it takes to shake up the business world, but not enough money to make it happen? Then prepare your elevator pitch for PerfectBusiness.com's National Pitch Challenge. The goal of the competition is to find the best business ideas in the U.S., and fund at least 25 businesses across the country. The top 10 pitches will receive a business prize package, consulting services and funding from angel investors and venture capitalists.

"We're looking for serious business ideas from capable entrepreneurs," said Dan Bliss, co-founder of PerfectBusiness.com. "Most professional investors are interested in startups or existing businesses that have potential for rapid growth and large returns on investment."

The top ten pitches will be determined by a panel of business experts and investors. You must be at least 18 years old to enter. Submissions will be accepted from September 1 through December 31, 2008. Winners will be announced on February 2, 2009. Check out the official website for more information. Good luck!
