FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – Startup Junkie and the Northwest Arkansas Naturals minor league baseball club will collaborate this summer for the first ever in-game pitch competition at Arvest Ballpark.
This summer, three finalists will be chosen to have their video pitch submission broadcast during a live baseball game, as the Naturals take on the Midland Rock Hounds. The fans in attendance at the ballgame, which will be held the night of Aug. 29, will be given the opportunity to vote on their favorite pitch. The winner will be invited back to the ballpark on Sept. 2 where he or she will be awarded a check for $1,000.
“The opportunity for entrepreneurs to pitch their idea during a live baseball game will provide great exposure to new ideas and hopefully inspire new businesses to be created from the event,” Startup Junkie Executive Director Haley Allgood said. “We’re combining innovation with our nation’s past time in what I know will be an evening of fun for everyone involved.”
The three contestants will be chosen in an IdeaFame Online Pitch competition, which will launch in July. All participants will also be required to submit a 30-second clip of their pitch, which will be broadcast during the game for the three finalists who will be selected by a panel of judges.
세 명의 결선 진출자는 또한 게임에 참석하고 Arvest Ballpark 중앙홀의 Startup Junkie 팀에 합류하여 게임 내내 팬들에게 직접 아이디어를 발표할 수 있는 기회를 갖게 됩니다.
The winner, in addition to receiving a $1,000 check, will throw out the ceremonial first pitch on Sept. 2, the last game of the regular season.
Fans in attendance will be able to visit with members of the Startup Junkie team and learn more about the organization’s mission. Aspiring entrepreneurs in attendance will also be able to schedule appointments for free consulting.
“Holding an IdeaFame Live pitch competition during a professional baseball game potentially allows us to introduce a new audience to our region’s incredible entrepreneurial community,” Allgood said. “Our team will be on site to tell prospective clients how they can schedule free consulting meetings with us.”
