The Startup Pitch is a site that was born out of an experiment in user generated news called D.I.Y. Startup News.
With D.I.Y. Startup News we wanted to create a site where people could go and post startup related stories without having to have a blog or get more coverage for their up and coming blog or startup.
D.I.Y Startup news was a success but it became clear that more was needed so we evolved the website into The Startup Pitch.
The Startup Pitch gives Startups the ability to answer some questions about their product and have it turned into a Pitch.

Y Combinator developed a new model of startup funding. Twice a year we invest a small amount of money (average $18k) in a large number of startups (last time 36). The startups move to Silicon Valley for 3 months, during which we work intensively with them to get the company into the best possible shape and refine their pitch to investors. Each cycle culminates in Demo Day, when the startups present to a large audience of investors. But YC doesn't end on Demo Day. We and the YC alumni network continue to help founders for the life of their company, and beyond.
