A Pitch Event Like No Other in Taos, New Mexico

ABQid Ski Lift Pitch Contest

2.24.22 | Taos Ski Valley, NM

Ski Lift

February 24, 2022

Entrepreneurs and investors alike are all-too-familiar with a typical elevator pitch. We think New Mexico is known more for its elevations than its elevators. Ski Lift Pitch is once again brings New Mexico’s best startups and world-class VC funds together for a special event. And no, there are no elevators involved. Not the usual kind, anyway.

We’re selecting ~10 ambitious, driven startups from the Land of Enchantment who exhibit: early customer validation and traction for a disruptive value proposition; high-growth potential and scalability; and eagerness to partner with venture investors to scale their business.
