We’ll be putting three entrepreneurs through their paces as they pitch their hearts out against the clock, and then we’ll vote on the best. The winner will walk away with $1000 cash, a profile in Idealog and a whole raft of other excellent prizes. (Past winners include Ben Polkinghorne of Bangerritos fame, Mark Major of Gamestarter, and Josh Cole and Jayden Klinac from Honest Coffee Co.)

We’ll also be hearing from Dry & Tea’s Amy Sznicer, who will be spilling all the secrets of great leadership, cunning entrepreneurship and a killer cuppa.

And did we mention Johnnie Walker? He’ll be there, too, plus, every ticket purchased goes in the draw to win a $45 gift voucher from Dry & Tea!

It’s all on at The Sapphire Room, Ponsonby Central, 4 Brown Street, Auckland on Tuesday 28 July. Arrive at 6pm and mingle for a bit; kick off is at 6.30pm.

Tickets are just $39 each, or $49 ticket with a 6 months subscription to Idealog Magazine. Get yours here.
