York Business School, Patch York and the York & North Yorkshire Growth Hub are once again delighted to bring you Innovation Supper.

Join us for a relaxed evening with a light supper and plenty of inspiration, where you’ll have the chance to step into the spotlight and pitch your business idea to win seed funding. Prior to the pitching, you’ll be provided expert pitch training delivered by York St John, so you’re fully prepared to deliver your pitch with confidence. Whether you’re just starting out or already up and running, you’re invited to get involved.

What to Expect:

• Enjoy networking and a light supper
• Pitch for a chance to win £400–£600
• 10 minutes to pitch, followed by 10 minutes of audience Q&A
• Receive expert pitch training from York St John University
• Benefit from audience feedback to help refine your idea
• The audience will then vote for the idea that they think is best
