At Logika we believe that pitch competitions are an important part of the entrepreneurial ecosystem. Pitch competitions give entrepreneurs a chance to be seen by the community, practice and improve their pitches, and get exposure to potential investors.

We also know that organizing and running a pitch competition is hard. So, we want to offer a little help. Between organizing the event, recruiting entrepreneurs to pitch, and getting judges to show up, sometimes there’s just no time to create clear judging criteria.

This pitch guide is designed to solve that problem. Specifically, it is:

• A transparent process that gives participants, judges, and audience members a shared, clear understanding of how the competition will be run
• Based on best practices for developing and running a startup
• Designed to improve the quality of pitches and make companies more successful
