The Duke of York founded Pitch@Palace to support Entrepreneurs with the acceleration and amplification of their business ideas. Pitch@Palace On Tour, which is part of Pitch@Palace 4.0, aims to provide broader opportunities for Entrepreneurs from across the United Kingdom, and helps local Entrepreneurs connect to stakeholders to provide mentoring in developing their business.

His Royal Highness watched 16 Entrepreneurs pitching to an audience of guests, including Pitch@Palace alumni, CEOs, Angels and Mentors. Guests at the event enjoyed Food and Drink provided by Bristol based Entrepreneurs.
