Businesses selected for entry are required to be scalable and/or innovative concepts that have been in business for four years or less.
Previous St. Pete Pitch Night winners include local non-alcoholic bottle shop Herban Flow, who took home the top prize of $5,000 in 2023, while Yugo Park won back in June for their app that allows drivers to reserve parking spots in advance.
