In October 2012 I started chairing Music Tech Pitch 4.5, which was a very interesting experience for me. Working with developers and small start ups is something that I’ve done for a long time as part of Palm Sounds, but Music Tech Pitch is a very different take on this.
Watching a group of start ups pitch their ideas and give everything in just three minutes was one thing. Having to cut them off when their time is up is another, but to make sure it’s all fair that’s what I have to do in my role of chairing the whole thing.
Overall it’s a great learning experience for me and I’ve met some truly inspiring and very interesting people as a result. I hope to keep doing it for as long as I can.
Here’s a bit more about the event:

I think I’ve been doing Music Tech Pitch for around 3 years now. It is interesting to see how it has changed over that time. Anyway. Here are a few pictures from the last one in April this year.
