A year in the making, seven startup founders stood before a mic, three judges and the gathered tech startup ecosystem of the STL for a raw 2 minutes each — then they got grilled by the judges!

Contestants from the three Pitches Get Stitches from 2022 came back to show off how they’ve improved their business and how they describe the problem they’re addressing, the opportunity and their unique solution.

Also, bizblip founder Paul Riat used the gathering to announce a new, weekly, video pitch competition that will serve as a qualifier for the next in-person PGS event. Blippy Pitch is only seen by subscribers (free or paid) to bizblip… and they get to vote! It launched today, will run a week, and a running total can be seen at bizblip.com

Startup founders interested in next week, or subsequent, Blippy Pitches may email Paul at publisher (at) bizblip.com for instructions. Please put ‘onboard request’ in the subject bar. You’ll get instructions about how to access the new Founders Portal where you can tell bizblip a little bit about your business, apply to pitch and upload a video.
