On Thursday 20 October 2011, Pitch Club will be hitting Brisbane looking for the next big thing! If you have a business idea which you have not taken anywhere because you don’t know where to start, this is the place to be.
Converting your idea into a valuable asset is a challenge so we offer aspiring entrepreneurs the chance to “pitch” their idea to angel investors, venture capitalists and fellow entrepreneurs in order to rub shoulders with those who have been there and done that. This means you will have access to expert advice, funding and opportunities to take an entrepreneurial journey.

“The critical ingredient is getting off your butt and doing something. It’s as simple as that. A lot of people have ideas, but there are few who decide to do something about them now. Not tomorrow. Not next week. But today. The true entrepreneur is a doer, not a dreamer.”
- Nolan Bushnell, founder of Atari and Chuck E.

Despite its name, Pitch Club is not a secret society or an exclusive organisation that screens applicants. We just want your ideas!
We welcome all attendees who would like to come along and either pitch an idea – however immature or developed it may be – or you would like to be in the audience. Pitch Club is fun! It’s a gathering of minds and money, in the hope that the two may find each other and ride off into the sunset for the greater good. Angel investors come along to witness the birth of clever products, business ideas or other concepts and they have the opportunity to discuss the possibilities with their creators.
Come along for a drink and some canapes. Pitch Club events are in Brisbane, Sydney, Hobart and Melbourne. You can view the events calendar here.
