1Crowd and RBL Bank hosts The Big Pitch

The finale of The Big Pitch 2016, hosted by 1Crowd and RBL Bank, took place at the Crist University in Bangalore. Ten selected start-ups were called on stage to pitch to a panel of judges for admission to Inspire!, 1Crowd’s first incubation Centre, and for priority consideration to be funded via 1Crowd’s equity crowdfunding platform.

Commenting on the event, Anil Gudibande, co-founder and Director at 1Crowd said, “At 1Crowd, we are determined to identify and nurture startups with potential for large scale disruption in sectors where they operate. ‘The Big Pitch’ served as a platform to identify such startups and we are determined to provide winners with the right resources, mentorship and support to realize their true potential. These startups will benefit from 1Crowd’s unique ethos of working as partners in growth rather than being merely financial investors”.

Winners included a range of startups from the domains of fintech, bio-tech, artificial intelligence based systems to community platforms.
