Sunday is upon us!

Our 11 teams have been working hard all night and early into the morning with several spending the night on a makeshift bed somewhere in the building. The rest of the teams starting appearing sleepy eyed around 9AM this morning keen for some caffeine and some breaky. Now with around 6 hours left to build, prepare, practice all hands are on deck working away getting everything ready for the final pitches this afternoon.

At 17.00 teams will start pitching their ideas & prototypes to the some hundred plus participants, 30 guest or so guests and four jury members all keen to see the fruits of 54 hours of work. Our jury members include Christian Lanng – CEO of danish startup Tradeshift, Nikolaj Sonne – host of So Ein Ding, Mads Vad Chrstensen – Director of Digital at Berlingske Media, and Peter Engelbrecht – CEO of danish startup Firmafon.

We’ll also be live streaming the event tonight and the audience will be able to vote via twtpoll.com, we’ll send out the URLs later today. For the pitches, they’ll be 3 min long followed by 3 min of Q&A from the jury. After the 11 teams have pitched the jury will be selecting the overall winner and then the team with the best demo. The third prize will be selected by the audience using twtpoll.

Until then keep rockin! And good luck everyone!

And we’re off to the races!

So with a little sleep, some big ideas, beers, coffee (when it works) and cola the 11 teams have been racing towards tomorrow nights final pitches. All the teams gave a status update and it looks like we’ve got some early prototypes already up and running.

Mentors have arrived and are currently on their way around to all the different teams providing some valuable insight and knowledge on how to kick-ass and take home the prize and title of the SWCPH winner. For the mentors we managed to get a great gang together including:

1. Steffen Christensen – @steffentchr - CTO of 23 VIDEO, and specialist in all things interweb!
2. Anette Nørgaard - @AnetteDK - from Microsoft Bizspark and major sponsor of SWCPH

The time is upon us! #swCPH is tonight!!

Some of you may be pitching an idea tonight, and yes, the rumors are true – its a 60 second blind (no visuals) elevator pitch.

It may sound impossible to fit all you need to say into a  mere 60 seconds, but if you follow the guidelines below – you should be safe!

• Who are you? : 5-10 secs
• Whats the problem? : 10-20 secs
• What is your solution? : 10-20 secs
• Who do you need : 5-10 secs <—- This is REALLY important!
