#PITCHPERFECT!

UK NATIONAL COMPETITION

“Supporting Entrepreneurship within the Community is an Effective Means to help overcome the many challenges we face today, not just Economically but Socially and Politically and is a Way Out of the Poverty Trap. Employment and the creation of wealth produces possibilities to build a Confident and Contributing Community, Achieve Respect and Real Integration. It helps to narrow the Margins and Gaps which breed Disenfranchisement. With Economic Mobility comes the Ability to Connect to the Global Potential of the Business Community”

-Amir Saeed (Managing Director)

POWERED BY HALAL EXPO

#PitchPerfect is an international competition to uncover some of the world’s most innovative and promising start-ups and early stage companies focused on the halal and ethical economy.

#PitchPerfect takes place in front of an audience at the Halal Economy Conference being held at the ExCeL London. Selected entrepreneurs seeking investment will have the opportunity to rub shoulders with an audience of venture capitalists, bankers, fund raisers, professional advisors and customers.

You will be pitching to a panel of veteran international investors looking to invest into the most exciting concepts and products in the halal and social impact space.

#PitchPerfect is being hosted at the Halal Economy Conference and organised by iE5, the world’s first accelerator dedicated to the Islamic and ethical economy.

iE5 is a global springboard for entrepreneurs working in the ethical, sustainable or Islamic economy. iE5 helps start-ups and early stage companies take their business idea from concept to reality, from “bootstrapped” to “series A”, or from garage/home office to globally branded unicorn.

ENTER COMPETITION

Do you have a start-up business that needs strategic help and investment to take it to the next stage? Is it halal and socially impactful?

We are looking for commercially viable business plans, tangible products that can change the Islamic economy and dynamic and highly motivated management teams. Some of you will be individual entrepreneurs creating an MVP (minimum viable product), others will already have a revenue generating product built by an exceptional management team. Whatever stage of development you are at, our panel of “dragons” are here to evaluate your unique concept, invest and work alongside iE5 to develop and grow your company.

Whether you are developing a concept in Islamic financial technology, halal lifestyle apps, education, travel, fashion, food or the charitable and social impact sector, our dragons are waiting to hear from you!

Do you have what it takes to convince our dragons to invest in you?

Will you become the first global islamic unicorn?
