One of the pitches at last year's event.

Six of the region’s most exciting young entrepreneurs will be pitching to senior executives and business angels at an event in Cambridge next week.

Their aim at the Pitching for Management event will be to find talented people who can help them grow their businesses.

“The biggest challenge facing companies in trying to raise finance from banks or venture capital is having a strong enough team to command that money,” said Chris Walklett, a partner at accountancy firm PEM, which is supporting the event.

“Pitching for Management solves this problem in an effective, efficient way. With the right team in place these companies will also be able to exploit their commercial potential too.”

The event is being held at Taylor Vinters in Milton Road, Cambridge, on Thursday, February 16 from 4-7pm.
