Successful entrepreneurship begins with an innovative idea; however, execution of an idea requires business savvy, strategic thinking and careful planning. This is the basis of BNN's new show The Pitch, where the guidance of experienced entrepreneurs, including our Chief Trend Hunter Jeremy Gutsche, turns innovative business ideas into successful companies. The show presents a panel of experienced judges with creative business concepts, giving each representative 90 seconds to pitch their idea to some of Canada's most hard-hitting entrepreneurs.

In this episode of The Pitch, Gutsche asks the hopeful entrepreneurs a series of thought-provoking questions, referencing the key components of a successful company. First to face the panel is Matthew Slutsky of BuzzBuzzhome, a site that connects potential buyers to their dream homes before they're even built. This concept resonated well with the panel as its future-based idea provides a cutting edge over competitors. Next up was Kevin Taylor of GroupThinq Solutions, a project management program based on user-focused service.
