Mark your calendars for Thurs., Sept. 16 — that’s when the 6th annual NEXT Venture Pitch 2021 Conference is scheduled for. 🔥 Tickets for the event are on sale now, and the deadline for pitch applications is midnight on Sun., Aug. 15.

Wait, back up. What is this?

NEXT Venture Pitch is an annual conference full of speakers, expert panels, and where Carolina entrepreneurs have a chance to be judged by top venture investors. Think: Shark Tank for local entrepreneurs. This event will be packed full of Angel Investors and Venture Capital firms.

Why does this matter to Greenville?

If you didn’t know, Greenville is home to one of the country’s Top 10 Angel Investor Groups: VentureSouth. Throughout the pandemic, Greenville has become a hub for talent, entrepreneurs, and investment as businesses and investors relocated to our area over the last few years.

But this event isn’t just for Greenville entrepreneurs, as the winner of the NEXT Venture Pitch competition gets to pitch on stage as the presenting company at the Venture Atlanta 2021 Conference in October.

If you’re interested in pitching or just want to be more involved in the local entrepreneurial scene, be sure to snag your tickets and read more about NEXT Venture Pitch.
