IPitch is an online community which helps Australian startups and investors stay connected

Sydney, July 21st - In August the Seed Accelerator team will host various Pitch Selection Events at which pre-selected startups and early stage tech ventures get a change to pitch and proof that they are the best in class. These pitch events will lead up to being selected for the final down select process for one of Seed Accelerator's programs (Startup Seed Program or Business Seed Program).

Candidates who think they meet the pre-selection criteria will be asked to send in an online application after which the selected candidates will be requested to provide additional information so the Seed Accelerator Selection Panel can select the best candidates and teams, who will be asked to present at the Pitch Selection Events in Sydney, Melbourne or Brisbane.

We only want to invest in the best and we like to partner with exceptional people who founded tech ventures that have:

• Clarity of Purpose: Summarize the company's business on the back of a business card.
• Large Markets: Address existing markets poised for rapid growth or change. A market on the path to a $1B potential allows for error and time for real margins to develop.
• Rich Customers: Target customers who will move fast and pay a premium for a unique offering.
• Focus: Customers will only buy a simple product with a singular value proposition.
• Blue Oceans: A product or service which is unique and can create an uncontested market space, allowing not to compete with rivals, but to make them irrelevant.
• Pain Killers: Pick the one thing that is of burning importance to the customer then delight them with a compelling solution.
• Think Differently: Constantly challenge conventional wisdom. Take the contrarian route. Create novel solutions. Outwit the competition.
• Team DNA: All team members are the smartest or cleverest in their domain. "A" level founders attract an "A" level team.
• Brains & Balls: The willingness, ability and power to fight and work hard to conquer the world.
• Agility: Stealth and speed will usually help beat-out large companies.
• Passion: Sincere and in-depth passion and commitment about bringing their idea alive and to help change the world.
• Frugality: Focus spending on what's critical. Spend only on the priorities and maximize profitability.
• Inferno: Start with only a little money. It forces discipline and focus. A huge market with customers yearning for a product developed by great engineers and designers requires very little firepower.
• Honesty & Integrity: Essential to survive and succeed.

At our Pitch Selection Events our core team members will be present, various mentors and industry experts will be attending, several portfolio companies will tell about their experience with Seed Accelerator and we will provide you with all the insights on what we are looking for, how the rest of the selection process will work and how our programs will help you to succeed smarter, faster and better.
