The pitch competition will kick-off on April 27 and close on May 18.  During this time, SMB owners who join Digital Ready and take at least one «winning customers» course will be eligible to enter by uploading a 60 second pitch video.  Verizon will select 5 semi-finalists per region (20 total) and fly them to one of the competitions in the cities listed below.  

  • June 19 (Kansas City) 
  • June 22 (Houston)
  • June 24 (Los Angeles)
  • June 25 (Philadelphia)
  • July 17 (Hoboken) 

The «winning customers» can be found on the main landing site when logged into your digital ready portal. Scroll down about a half a page and you should see the below options.  The bottom right corner has the «winning customers» courses.
