‘What is a business?’ According to Sir Richard Branson, ‘a business is simply coming up with an idea that will make other people’s lives better’.
‘Pitch to Rich’, an exciting competition backed by Virgin Media Business, aims to help innovative UK companies spread their own idea more effectively. ‘Grow’, ‘New Things’ and ‘Start-up’ are the three categories of the contest, which comes with the very catchy hashtag #VOOM – the perfect reminder of the once-in-a-lifetime business acceleration offered to winning participants.
Among the businesses answering the call, SoAmpli! Our pitch – listed in the Start-Up category – is now live. We have until May 5th 2015 to gather as many votes as we can and make it to the next stage. The 50 start-ups with the most votes will then be shortlisted to pitch to Virgin Media experts – including Sir Rich – for a chance to become one of the 10 semi-finalists.
In all fairness, this is not the first time Maz and Sir Branson cross paths. In 2014, Maz was invited to join the line-up of Social Media experts for the Big Digital Skills Hub, a Virgin Media initiative to help entrepreneurs grow their business through the Internet.
Please help us make it to the Top 50! Cast your vote here and give us a chance to ‘Pitch to Rich’.
