BEELINE

We are giving away an all-inclusive dinner for up to four in an exclusive “Wine Grotto” for a dream night out.

Every day, startups are given just seconds to summarize their entire business plan to investors and press, for the chance to make their dreams become a reality. This is known as “the pitch.”

This time, BEELINE is turning the tables and wants to hear your pitch. Submit up to 140 characters plus a photo (pitch) to www.beelinenow.com/pitch explaining why you want to win an exclusive night in Tresca’s “Wine Grotto.” The reason is yours. Pitches are posted daily for voting.

As a startup, we love the exhilaration of securing funding and expanding our network of restaurants and nightclubs. We wanted to share that feeling by sponsoring this contest, and offering the winners a truly memorable night out, on us!

The winner will be hooked up with a four-course Tasting Menu and a bottle of wine for up to four people at Tresca in the North End on Friday, November 8, 2013 at 7:00 PM. To top it off, they’ll dine in Tresca’s exclusive Wine Grotto, a private table in their extravagant wine cellar. This experience has a $500 value.

Four additional pitches will be selected for a BEELINE Experience

· Most creative

· Best couple

· Best group

· Funniest

Showcase your creativity. Own your night.

Voting concludes on Sunday November 3^rd. Additional details can be found at our website.
