Introbiz collaborated with Big Ideas Wales, Be The Spark and Cardiff City Council to discover the best up and coming entrepreneurs and businesses in Wales. The purpose of ‘The Pitch’ is to provide winners with mentoring and top tips help them further their career and take their business to the next level.
The Pitch was opened by CEO of Be The Spark, Caroline Thompson who introduced the brilliant entries including Eventagious, Rep Wales App, Unifi, Trekinherd and Get Wonky. After the pitches took place, judges Hayley Parsons OBE, Ashley Cooper, Stifyn Parri, Ken Poole and Lyndon Wood discussed their favourite pitches and deliberated who the worthy winner should be. It was such a hard decision as all the entries were brilliant and in the end they decided on two pitches as our winners.
