Detailed template for running a virtual pitch competition

Check out a post I wrote detailing the exact steps the Contrary Boston team took in planning and running our Boston-wide virtual pitch competition in December.

You could use this as inspiration / a template for future virtual pitch competitions, hope it's useful!

Background: Contrary's pitch competition had a couple hundred RSVP's / live attendees, and pitch applications were open to university students and recent alumni (less than two years out of undergraduate and graduate school) from schools in the Boston area. Judges included Jamie Goldstein (Founding Partner @ Pillar VC), Christina Qi (CEO @ Databento), Paul English (Founder & CTO @ Lola.com and KAYAK), and Alexandra Sukin (Investor @ Bessemer). Read more about the ten finalists here.
