Welcome to The Pitch
Congratulations to the winners of The Pitch 2024!
It has been an exhilarating journey that culminated in 12 innovative, talented and exceptional businesses taking to the stage to pitch their business in front of our panel of five judges and a live audience in Dublin City Hall on November 11.
These finalists made it through rigorous judging, to be chosen from an incredibly competitive and high-calibre list of applications, to have the chance to take part in the adrenaline-pumping final. They competed to win the ultimate prize of €100,000 worth of Samsung Electronics Ireland technology and an IMAGE media and marketing campaign, as well as invaluable mentoring by entrepreneur and broadcaster Bobby Kerr.
*We are delighted to announce the winners as Tracy Gunn and Michelle O’Keeffe, co-founders of Platform 55.*
Platform55 is an HR platform transforming how organisations support today’s family at work, supporting individuals to balance their career with family life, whilst addressing strategic issues around gender equality, sustainability and the ‘S’ of ESG. On the stage, they articulated their problem-statement and purpose clearly with palpable passion, and this really helped them stand out among the impressive finalists.
