About River Pitch

RiverPitch is a television concept based on a program developed at River City Labs, which was acquired by ACS in 2018 from well-known entrepreneur and investor Steve Baxter.

In all, 24 candidates will battle it out for a $20,000 prize, including business mentoring and a mission to one of the world’s leading technology hubs.

The judges are ACS President Yohan Ramasundara, ACS CEO Andrew Johnson, and COO of fintech HashChing, Siobhan Hayden.
