Tech Coast Angels (TCA) is pleased to announce our upcoming celebration of the 10th anniversary of our John G. Watson Quick Pitch Competition held on October 6th, 2016. This competition is one of the most recognized angel investor events in the nation showcasing talented entrepreneurs who are given 2 minutes each to pitch their business to an expert panel of judges and large audience of investors, business executives and community leaders.

This year we are introducing several exciting changes, including:

• Doubling the cash prizes from $15,000 to $30,000
• Audience voting to determine all the winners
• Recording live for The Pitch VC podcast

The finalists will receive invaluable coaching from our experienced TCA members and The Pitch podcast investors, and the winners of the event will be awarded cash and business services from our generous sponsors. Prepare to also hear from past finalists who have accomplished many milestones and made considerable progress since competing.
