NEAR-Native Jumbo Accelerator Program — PitchTalk!

We are excited to unveil the very new plane of the NEAR ecosystem growth developed by the Jumbo Exchange Team — PitchTalk!

What is PitchTalk?

PitchTalk in a nutshell is an independent platform for Live Presentations of projects for potential investors. It enables ANY project to launch a campaign, attract investors, provide updates on the development and initiate a fundraising.

PitchTalk is thought of as an ungoverned and self-sustaining decentralized platform that empowers growth through cleverly designed structure that focuses on viability and organically generated interest!

How does it work?

PitchTalk crystallizes the essence of fundraising/informing by providing a unique format of Pitching.

Pitch is essentially when a project decides to launch their campaign on PitchTalk. Every potential investor is able to in real-time (as well as in recording) observe the Pitch. At any point in time, an investor is able to invest a certain amount that will also be displayed on the interface.

In this way, PitchTalk facilitates a more direct connection between investors both retail and Venture Capital whilst getting rid of the veil that is present in traditional Fundraising!

Summing up the basic functionality of PitchTalk:

There are three Pitches available for each project.

• Intro Pitch — the very basic overview of a project and the vision behind it. No investments are accepted during this stage
• Update Pitch — this section focuses more on the core idea, ways of delivering and setting expectations. Retail Investors are able to invest directly during this stage!
• Investors Pitch — designed to be a capital investor section where entrepreneurs can pitch their ideas and vision directly to VCs. VCs can invest directly via PitchTalk!

PitchTalk has a calendar function that is visible to anyone interested in a specific project. Project owners can schedule each pitch for a specific date and time fitting to them!

After all of the Pitches are concluded, invested amounts are automatically converted to a specific token of a given project.

Authorization for both investors and Talkers are done via Wallet Selector on NEAR Blockchain!
