I’ve written a post before about Dragon’s Den style pitching online, but now Richard Branson has jazzed up this phenomenon Virgin style and is giving budding entrepreneurs the chance to gain good exposure for their business ideas.
To hail Virgin’s 25th anniversary celebrations, entrepreneurs in search of both business and exposure are invited to submit short video pitches to the Virgin team. After a vote from its online community, the favourite pitches will be placed on PitchTV, which is a channel aired onboard Virgin flights and available online.
This seems like a great idea and opportunity to get your own ideas heard by some of the top business professionals who travel with Virgin. And, if any of the passengers are interested, they can personally get in touch to offer any form of help or advice.
Richard Branson writes in a recent blog post:
When I was starting out, I wish I could have had the chance to pitch my business ideas directly to people who could help make my ambitions a reality. We can now make that happen for you.
If you’re interested in this idea then simply film yourself delivering the pitch for no longer than two minutes and upload your video here.
With an increasing amount of people communicating online and sharing their ideas, why not make use of to get ahead in the business world?
I think this is another very clever idea from Mr Branson because if there is a truly brilliant idea shared on this platform, I have no doubt his team will be in direct contact pretty quickly.
