Competition judges see dozens of pitches. A film-quality introduction makes yours the one they remember.
Austin's startup pitch competition calendar runs year-round. Founders who use supporting video content consistently stand out from those who rely on slides alone.
We produce pitch competition films for Austin startup competitions including SXSW Pitch, Capital Factory Demo Day, Texas Venture Labs, University of Texas competitions, and national competitions with Austin entrants. Competition pitch support is different from investor pitch production — it often supplements a live presentation rather than replacing it, and is calibrated for a specific competition format and audience. We work with your live pitch to create supporting content that amplifies rather than duplicates it.
Pitch competition films are submitted as pre-competition materials, embedded in competition profiles and directories, and shared in the post-competition press cycle when winners are announced. For competition participants who then pursue a formal raise, the institutional investor pitch video at PitchVideoAustin.com is the next step in the fundraising content progression.

No. The live pitch and the film serve different purposes. The live pitch is a performance with real-time Q&A; the film is a controlled narrative that can be watched before and after the competition. They should be consistent in message but optimized for their respective formats.
For time-sensitive competition deadlines, we offer a two-week turnaround on pitch competition films from production day to final delivery. Rush delivery with a 24-48 hour post-production window is available for extreme deadline situations.
Yes. Filming the live competition pitch provides compelling content — the pressure, the judges, the live room — that's useful in post-competition press cycles and as evidence of public speaking caliber for future investor meetings.
