Back in mid-March, there was conversation thread on the Seattle Tech Startup mailing list, which sparked some very valuable feedback on the status of investment pitching forums in Seattle. 46 pages of feedback, actually, which we distilled down to 10 pages of bullet points.

Now why would we do a crazy (and time consuming!!) thing like that?

Well, it's simple. Events that facilitate connections between entrepreneurs, investors, and service providers, need to be produced as an intrinsic part of the community, bringing together the requests and ideas of many, and carving out a platform that is unique and effective.

That's where the LivePitch comes in. Sure, we're hosting it-- but guess what Seattle: this is your event. So we want and need to hear what YOU want and need to get out of it.
