There’s no question, do it. The battle challenges you to know your product and how it’s relevant to the people using it then also explain it succinctly. Submit your pitch and be in it to win it.

Interested in the iOi Pitch Battle?

Organized by the National Association of REALTORS® (NAR).

NAR will select a limited number of companies to compete as Pitch Battle contestants live in front of NAR NXT conference attendees (agents, brokers, VCs, tech gurus, and more).

Join in on the Excitement

All NAR NXT attendees are welcome to attend the sixth annual Pitch Battle. Watch forward thinking start-ups pitch their innovative solutions, in front of a veteran panel of judges, addressing the biggest issues and opportunities in real estate. Join in the excitement to see who goes home with the prize. Winner takes all! Not just the money, but major exposure, meetings with VCs, and more!

It’s easy to write a long story about a product and the benefits it can offer, but to compress it down to a few minutes—takes work. But it’s not impossible. Don’t be intimidated. Just go for it and apply.
