Join Chris Shipley and the Guidewire Group in Austin on November 11th for an exciting day of learning and networking as a group of talented entrepreneurs deliver their best pitch in front of a panel of guest judges in hopes of being named to the Innovate!100 list of 100 most promising startups. Spend time with 12 must-see tech startups that have been named as semi-finalists by our analyst team, and help decide who will win one of the two last-minute spots that we’re reserving for the winners of our “Quick Pitch” competition the day of the event. After a successful series of 17 Innovate!2010 Pitch Slams earlier this year in Europe that began in Zaragoza, Spain and ended in Tallinn, Estonia, as well as events in Mumbai, San Francisco & Columbia, we look forward to bringing the Pitch Slam tour to the U.S.

Startups interested in applying for a chance to present at the Pitch Slam are encouraged to submit an application online — it’s free to apply!

Time: 1:00pm to 5:00pm, followed by a cocktail party
