PITCH

PITCH, sponsored by Coca Cola, is a competition where 200 startups from all around the world will come together and pitch about their companies on 4 different stages. Personally, I think this is the most exciting session of the summit. It’s a rare opportunity to meet so many smart people (serial entrepreneurs, technology experts, data scientist, CEOs, etc)and listen to their inspiring ideas in the same place.
