From Fast Company:
[N]ow there’s news Richard Branson is accepting “micropitches” via Twitter for new
startup ideas.It’s all part of a new startup conference dubbed PerfectBusiness that the
billionaire entrepreneur is helping to get going, and it’s pretty simple. All
you have to do is Tweet your business idea to @PerfectBusiness and add the
hashtag #micropitch… which means your business idea has to be compressed down
to just 111 characters to fit into the available space of a Tweet. Winners will
get two tickets to the conference, airfare to L.A. included, and business
coaching to turn the Tweet into a meaningful, complete company plan. There’s
even the chance Branson and team will choose your idea and get some VC funding
on board.
