#WeAreYQQ PitchFest 2016. Rock on Comox Valley startups!

September 30, 2016 by Leif Jason

On September 28, 2016 we hosted the Comox Valley’s first PitchFest. Eight entrepreneurs. Three judges with startup smarts. $5000 in prizes from the Comox Valley, 98.9 The GOAT, and LIFT Comox Valley (including $600 contributions from Mastermynde Strategy, 50th Parallel PR, Karen McKinnon Photography, hanspetermeyer.ca, and Jabin Postal Films). PitchFest rocked. For four hours. Here’s the Island Soul Films two-minute version (below). Enjoy!

And hey, support local business. They are the lifeblood of our community.

Next party?

Watch for it here, because this is where we’re cooking up some cool shift!
