Irish business and investment site www.thebusinessshop.ie has launched
a facility to allow entrepreneurs upload investor video pitches.The LivePitch facility
enables people seeking investment to upload their audiovisual pitch to
prospective investors. This can be accompanied by business plans,
spreadsheets and images.
TheBusinessShop.ie said there was a
growing demand for more interactivity when it comes to investor
pitches, with investors wanting clips that can be downloaded to iPods
and other portable media devices.
With video pitches,
potential investors can view the entrepreneur, their presentation style
and their personality, as well as assess the business plan. It will
allow the investor to judge not just the business idea but also the
entrepreneur, according to TheBusinessShop.ie.
The launch of
LivePitch is driven by the fact that Ireland’s broadband use is growing
and web viewers have become more used to a media-rich environment, the
site owners said.
LivePitch is a no-cost addition to the site’s premium advertising package that costs €350.90.
TheBusinessShop.ie was founded in 2005 as an online marketplace for business opportunities across the island of Ireland.
