When thinking about successful business men, one particular man seems to come to many people’s minds. No not Bill Gates, the other one, Richard Branson. Known for being a successful entrepreneur, Sir Richard often looks for other budding entrepreneurs to invest in, but catching his eye is not always that easy.
Thankfully, getting your business idea in front of the billionaire just got a whole lot easier. He’s the keynote speaker and one of the judges that will be at the Perfect Pitch 2009 Conference this October. Sure you can still enter the usual way by following the guidelines outlined here, or you can bypass all that nonsense and dazzle the judges with your ability to spin magic out of 140 characters.
The Micro Pitch Twitter Competition is taking place now and there are only three simple rules. To enter, just tweet your idea to @perfectbusiness with the hashtag #micropitch. Your entry must fit within the 14o character limit of one tweet. What do you get if your tweet is picked?
