Welcome Back, It's Pitch Time
Welcome to the pitch sessions by Rob Beeler and Tom Triscari.
We’ll hear eleven fast-paced and incredibly enlightened pitches that span the adtech supply chain. These smart founders are here to convince you of their worldview theses. They are on stage to tell you about a big problem in the advertising space and articulate their novel solution that creates or recreates a large market opportunity. We’ll hear from the demand side first, have a networking break, and then flip to the supply side.
Here’s how each pitch will flow. The audience will have 2 minutes to read a Jeff Bezos-style 2-page memo prepared by the company founders. The founder will have 8 minutes to share their thesis, and then the founder will answer rapid-fire questions from our investor panel — Remi Lemonnier, Giovanni Strocchi, Claire Houry, Joanna Burton, Rich Ashton, and Sir Martin Sorrell.
When all the pitches are done, our audience will get to vote on which thesis resonates the most. What does the winning pitch get? The most valuable thing of all… bragging rights!
