    OUR PITCH PITCH

    Ulule's wish is to be as close as possible to makers and ensure them the best chance of success. This is why, each month, in different cities worldwide, we organize a thematic Pitch Pitch event where we shine the spotlight on a selection of entrepreneurs, makers and creators. They pitch their project in front of a crowd, celebrate the launch of their crowdfunding campaign and they can win special prizes! Gathering a community of entrepreneurs and contributors is always fun and refreshing.
