Review our sponsorship packages below and feel free to get in touch with us to talk about your role in this event.

On June 3-4, 2016, 25 mobile app development startups (teams of 2 persons) from across the Caribbean will pitch to judges in the PitchIT Caribbean Startup Challenge at the Montego Bay Convention Centre, Jamaica. The Judging Panel will comprise angel investors, venture capitalists, business founders, app development specialists and members of the business community. This is the first in a series of at least three such events to be held over the next 20 months.

Through an intensive social media and direct marketing campaign, the PitchIT Caribbean Challenge June 2016 is expected to attract invaluable individual, business, tech community and media attention from across the Caribbean, from our donor territory, Canada, the World Bank global networks and from collaborators as far as Africa and Finland.
