Quborly owns and administers Pitch by Quborly. No venue, sponsor, speaker, mentor, judge, investor or partner is confirmed unless specifically identified as confirmed on the event listing.
Winners are chosen by the judging panel. The audience separately votes for a People’s Choice award.
Seminars and educational sessions run alongside the pitch competition. The programme covers customer discovery, shaping a business case, pitching instruction and presentation training, with industry speakers drawn from operators and investors in the field. Sessions are open to participants and attendee-pass holders alike.
Mentor office hours are scheduled through the event. Mentors are practitioners — operators, engineers, designers and investors — available for working sessions on the problem in front of you rather than a scripted talk. The mentor roster is confirmed closer to the event and published before paid passes open.
Structured networking is programmed, not left to chance: facilitated introductions, relationship-building sessions, and dedicated founder and professional networking blocks between sessions. The intent is that you leave with people worth following up with, whatever the result of the competition.
Food, snacks and refreshments are planned across the schedule where the final venue permits. Exact catering, and any dietary accommodation, is confirmed once the venue is locked and published before paid passes open.
