Perfect Pitch
Join the Perfect Pitch 2022 Competition!

Perfect Pitch is Konnectory’s home-grown pitch competition. Launched in Los Angeles in 2017, the celebrated event brings together a diverse mix of entrepreneurs in industries such as health, technology, film, education, publishing, and cosmetics.

Contestants get a chance to “test the waters” of their projects and ideas to a panel of business experts and in front of a live audience.
