The Founders Live Winter Kick-Off quarterly pitch event takes place on December 6th from 5 to 7:30 PM at the Creation Station Main Library in Downtown Fort Lauderdale located at 100 South Andrews Avenue Fort Lauderdale, FL 33301.

Admission is free.

The Founders Live experience includes a unique 99-second pitch competition format where entrepreneurs pitch directly to the audience not panels or judges. The audience members then have 4 minutes to ask about the product or service before deliberating on the event winner.

The Founders Live event will also feature a special presentation by Patricia Monica Ojeda entitled: Must-Have Technologies for Small Businesses: Paving the Way to Success.

Marc Lissade,  Founders Live Fort Lauderdale City Leader, states:

“This is the only event that I know of that offers entrepreneurs the opportunity to gather immediate customer feedback on their service or product in a fun and cooperative atmosphere.”
