Pitchie is a new sharing and collaboration platform where users can pitch their ideas to the world.
Founded in January 2011 by Chris Leydon, James Cunningham, Pitchie started off as a simple social app for Twitter users to get feedback on their ideas. Since then it’s evolved to be described as a collaborative ideas sharing platform where users can pitch ideas, get them rated and receive feedback; as well expressing interest to collaborate on ideas with each other.
Shortly after the founding of the company, Colin Hayhurst joined Pitchie as the company’s secretary, business & investments advisor and a director.
Pitchie raised £33,000 as seed funding from the Technology Strategy Board, in March 2011, to build a new cloud-based hosting solution StackBlaze. Pitchie’s primary focus until early July 2011 had been on PitchieApp.
Chris Leydon left as Pitchie’s Managing Director in early July 2011, citing emotional stress and differences within the company. Since his departure, Pitchie has primarily been focused on building their cloud-based hosting solution, StackBlaze.
