The Startup Showdown is not an ordinary pitch competition. It is a dynamic platform designed to carve pathways for startups, even in uncharted territories. Spence and her team are on a mission to unearth hidden gems with the potential to secure their first round of outside capital, typically an angel pre-seed round, and catapult their growth journey. Through expert evaluations and engaging pitches, they are creating opportunities that may not have existed before.
Spence believes in spotlighting rising stars and connecting them with the resources and visibility needed to ignite their potential, secure angel investments, and elevate their ventures to new heights.

Simone Spence, the driving force behind this competition, boasts an impressive track record in pitch competitions, securing victories in nearly every contest she's entered. With experience spanning multiple domains and a spot in one of the world's top three tech accelerators, Techstars, Simone successfully raised over $1 million in her first funding round. Her journey taught her that having the right social network or a champion who can introduce you to people within the network makes raising capital significantly easier. With this in mind, she launched "How to Raise Capital" to provide guidance and access to the angel capital ecosystem.
Spence's company has already made a significant impact, guiding over 50 founders through the fundraising process. More than a dozen founders have successfully raised $250,000 or more, with one currently in the process of raising a seed round exceeding $3 million, all under the company's guidance.
The Startup Showdown is poised to be a game-changer for entrepreneurs aiming to make their mark. By participating, founders gain access to valuable feedback, mentorship, investor connections, and a chance to win a $10,000 cash prize that can enhance credibility and attract further investor and media attention.
