"Last week cash-strapped entrepreneurs had the opportunity
to pitch their business plans to a captive audience in Speed-pitching
fest dubbed: "Survivors: Silicon Alley."
New
York Observer, June 2, 2001
"So there they were, on a Wednesday afternoon at Baruch College,
signed up for a speed-pitching workshop-a decidedly weird one-hour
event where 40 or so pre-selected entrepreneurs get five minutes
to make their pitch to a panel of mostly New York-based venture-capital
investors. Call it the Gong Show of the Internet age: An entrepreneur
gets five minutes of face time with a V.C. investor; once those
five minutes are up, a bell rings and off he goes to the next investor...
Within 48 hours, four of the V.C.'s had called the boys from Great
Neck to set up longer meetings."
