          • About us

            Pitchrs began as an idea to bring startups together and learn from each other in 2012. We have since moved onto having many many events. We bring startup community and business together to offer a helping hand and build a stronger community.

            The Pitchrs website is dedicated to the same ideals. We want to create a reservoir of shared knowledge pieces and offer a platform for conversation and engagement. We are open to new ideas and promoting each other in whatever way we can.
