Five tech-enabled startups will compete for a $10,000 cash prize at the ‘Pitch Breakfast’ pitch competition hosted by TechSTL on Wednesday, November 16th as part of Startup Week. The location has yet to be determined, but pitches will be 6 minutes each and will be made to a panel of 10 judges. The application window will be from Oct. 1 through 15th.

“Pitch Breakfast is a fun way to support the continuum of competitions and offer another opportunity or a startup to snag $10K,” TechSTL Executive Director Emily Hemingway told bizblip. “I always love to host pitch events because they rally the community to celebrate big ideas and lots of grit. I don’t think there’s a better program for TechSTL to host during Startup Week.”

In an added wrinkle, Hemingway says the winner of the upcoming Pitches Get Stitches (and $500) pitch competition will secure one of the five seats at the Pitch Breakfast competition (registration for that event closes Sept. 3rd). Full disclosure, TechSTL is a financial sponsor of the September 20th Pitches Get Stitches competition, and is a past sponsor of bizblip.
