Sweaty palms, quivering voice… Pitching isn't always easy. So how do you go about it – especially when there's €10K at stake?
Bekk Blando (Thoughtful Oasis, UT), Anne Vortkamp (CARAPAX), and Shahriar Mirpour (Gelion Care, TU/e) were among the lucky teams selected to pitch in the 10K Pitch Competition. The day after they delivered their pitch for the judges – and right before the start of Enschede Slush'D 2025 – we talked about their experience and what they did to nail their pitch.
After the recording, Shahriar and his team of Gelion Care took home the win.
