Funding Universe’s CrowdPitch , held 10/28/10 at the New York Open Center,  gave six entrepreneurs the chance to pitch their business ideas for four minutes each, in front of a live audience and a panel of experts (Barbara Corcoran, John Frankel, Brian Hirsch and David Rose) who asked further questions.  Congratulations to the winner, David Bloom, CEO of Naama Networks.

This is the first time Funding Universe has held this event in the New York City area, but they will be back again in 2011, according to partner Alexander Lawrence.  Anyone looking to learn the best practices to obtain funding from investors would benefit from attending  a CrowdPitch event, this year’s event was extremely well moderated, entertaining and educational.
