“IDEApitch is the premier showcase for emerging startups poised for rapid growth in the New Orleans region,” shared The Idea Village, the nonprofit that produces NOEW. The organization pledges a $50,000 investment prize to the winning pitch.
With support from local investors and entrepreneurs, that total has jumped up to a whopping $750,000, with $400,000 awarded to the winning pitch and $175,000 to each runner up. The Idea Village says this increase makes IDEApitch one of the largest pitch competitions in the country.
The IDEApitch finalists include Jamm Around, a network management platform for music creators, Cluey Consumer, a data-driven platform that empowers socially conscious consumers, and Iconic Moments, an NFT marketplace for museums and other cultural institutions.
