Taught by SBC’s Kristin York and other seasoned mentors in collaboration with Tahoe Silicon Mountain, Tahoe Pitch Camp helps participants hone their presentation skills and information into a five-minute presentation, referred to as a pitch, identifying their value proposition and their organization’s capital needs.
Each entrepreneur will take questions from the panel of expert judges. The event will conclude with voting and a winner will be chosen by the judges and the audience. The event will also be live-streamed on Youtube. The winner selected by the judges and audience will receive a cash prize.
Tahoe Pitch Camp is back after a two-year hiatus, The last pitch showcase winner was Landing Locals, a company that matches long-term renters with area homeowners in Lake Tahoe, Summit County, CO, and Idaho. Pitch Camp and the showcase were a part of their successful start.

Working on projects that directly decrease emissions makes climate change feel less scary and more manageable. So much needs to be done, but actually getting to work feels incredible.
