Darebin Pitch It is back and bigger than ever!

Got a business idea to benefit our community? Can you pitch it in under 10 minutes? Darebin City Council is seeking applications for innovative business ideas focussed on sustainability or social impact. Get your team together or apply as an individual.

The top 10 ideas for both categories will be invited to our Pitch It days in March 2020, with ten ideas selected to enter the intense accelerator program. Finalists will then battle it out at the grand final for the chance to share in over $50,000 in investment.

Applications open Friday 20 December 2019 and close Friday 6 March 2020.

Stay tuned to the Darebin Business Facebook page for updates on how to apply.
