WHY PITCHING?

If there is one activity that never stops and gets more intense as a starup grows: it is pitching. Nutty Ventures arranges the annual Nordic Pitch Battle featuring a day-long pitching marathon filled with keynotes, masterclasses, panels, and (yes of course!) startup pitches from the Nordic Region and around the world. An all-in-one event on pitching and fundraising, irrespective of what stage you are as a startup: idea, pre-seed, seed, or growth!
