Take a pitch here
Here is how to take a place in one of our three pitches, the paid placements where your firm's story appears alongside the founders we write about. Each pitch runs for 7 days and is marked plainly as Sponsored.
Every pitch is labelled Sponsored, and the link carries rel="sponsored". It is kept separate from our rankings. A paid placement never buys or moves a vote.
One firm holds each pitch at a time. If a pitch is already booked, yours begins the day the last booking ends. The dates your pitch would take are shown here and again in the cart before you pay.
