Lolz. But why now.

Well I've been speaking to a couple of "non pitchers" qjo are definitely not OK with the set up and processes.

Many got text messages they didn't understand.

Many are of the idea that they already have those they want

Many of us had to reregister

The program started too late - about 10:44am

80 people were selected out of 2000 pitches to present this morning.

More coming

Not that we have 2000 people pitching, I mean only 80 pitches selected from 2000 who registered online

Well I'm not pitching and I thank God I'm not.

Because this is just an idea stealing platform

Fourth pitcher currently - I'm OK with one so far

I actually pitched too. But not picked.

A couple of guys have their reservations based on ideas being shared publicly.

I also think it is televised - I don't know what TV station though.

Yes this is true. A supplementary list was made. I think they found out some of those pitches not picked may be better than those that were presented.

For example before I left I could pick only 4 major great ideas.

good to know.....u did well bro, so did you pitch?

oteneaaron:

Nah! I passed.

I have a reservation on ideas flying out.

I pitched my IT business idea, it wasn't good enough for them.

I have apps ideas also but I'm not a developer.

I expect you to ask me about my idea, what it will do and how it will benefit customers and my ROI. Not asking if I have developed it yet.

Many developers don't own the idea, many innovators also don't have the skill set to develop.

In actual sense, I had an app that my least charge from a developer was about $10,000 - this is what I need finance for.

True....

other Tech pitch events av watched, bordered on
...

what will this tech innivation solve?

what are you doing differently or better?

how can you make money?

what's next?(launch phase, future goal etc...)



.....If i'm invited to pitch, i might.....our idea is already a work in Progress, already nearing a launch date, so i see this pitch as a form of publicity.......

after all its Nigeria.....our own de different......its both our gift and curse.

The judging was fair... All professionals... No mago mago

tbaba1234:

Next up is Abj.

tbaba1234:

Yes actually it was.

If you have a great idea, they'll invest in you.

ugofwesh:
@tbaba1234, i called the line and they confirmed my status using my code,but i couldn't talk to anybody on the line. like i said earlier i sent ph as my location but was texted the pitch invite at lagos,but received the info late. would i be allowed to pitch at ph?, help o abeg.direct and straight forward answers needed.

There is another audition in Lagos on July 2nd for those who didn't present today. So if you can't pitch in PH, you can still pitch in Lagos...
