Elevator Pitches is a video community project developed by TechCrunch that allows online entrepreneurs to pitch their startups to the general public in 60 seconds. A technology startup’s CEO or founder should use that time to explain the company’s products and how they are intended to make money. Once the video is posted posted, TechCrunch readers have the chance to comment and vote on the pitches they like the most or least.
Alexis took this opportunity to present Erepublik and cover the main points and gets the message across. After one month, the Erepublik pitch has the second highest ratio (141 ‘up’ vs 38 ‘down’ votes) out of 64 pitches.
Take a look at the presentation made by Alexis and if you like it, don’t forget to vote.

This weekend we had community meetings in two of the top 5 countries in Erepublik. Alexis was our representative member in Spain and me with Geo and Bogdan Adamut met with the Erepublikans in Romania on our monthly meeting. In Bucharest we broke all records with this event which lasted more than … 9 hours. Also in Madrid (see picture) several important Citizens could join, like Zhuge Lian. Meiko, Alyena, Charlie, Kane, vash and maeghith. They’ve talked about the next version of Erepublik (which will be an outstanding one) and Alexis received tremendous amount of feedback from them. Each one who could join this meeting received a “Citizen of The New World” T-shirt (available in online stores by the end of this year).
In the past three months we have organized several meetings with Erepublik citizens from Romania, especially from Bucharest. We meet in the last Saturday of each month in a local pub. Everyone has a great time, they ask us (me and George) what great features will be in the next Erepublik version and we try to get as much feedback as possible from them. After this kind of discussions the main subject is about Romania in Erepublik. Defense strategies, political partnerships, economical agreements between company owners and so on.
