Uber is partnering with Florida Funders (Website) to bring UberPitch to Orlando on November 13, from 11 a.m.-3 p.m. According to a post by Orlando Tech, there are already four investors signed up to take part; Michael O’Donnell and Scott Claus of Florida Angel Nexus, Tom Gawronski of venVelo, and David Chitester of Florida Funders.
Uber users enter the code “ORLANDOPITCH” into their app, and a special UberPitch vehicle will come pick them up, along with a possible investor who will already be in the car waiting for a great idea.
The idea pitcher then has 15 minutes to sell their concept before they are dropped off back at their pick-up location.
As with the cupcake promotion that Uber ran a few months ago, demand will be high and app users are encouraged to keep checking for the next available ride.
haha no it means there’s a potential investor in the the car with the driver
“UberPitch vehicle will come pick them up, along with a possible investor “. Does this mean the person in the car might be an imposter or there might not be anyone in the car?
James Scott Visconti and Hector Boehme, here’s your big chance!
