On Tuesday, September 26 the TELUS Pitch Elevator will descend upon Vancouver Startup Week as a part of the TELUS Pitch competition. The life-size travelling elevator will give local Vancouver entrepreneurs the chance to enter the competition by stepping inside and delivering their best "elevator pitch."
Running until October 29, the TELUS Pitch is an annual competition aimed at accelerating success through the adoption of technology. For one lucky small business owner, it gives them the opportunity to receive $100,000 cash, and others a shot at $50,000 in additional prizing from TELUS Small Business Solutions, making it the largest payout in Canada for a small business competition.
