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.
Erepublik managed to raise the funds that will allow our team to grow and have the right resources to continue building and launch the next version later this year.
Also, the angels investors internet know-how will be a great help for us, as we will continue to make the Citizens experience in Erepublik better and better.
George and Alexis managed to announce this before we did, so all I have to do now is to link to them.
So, here is their video announcement (recorded yesterday at midnight) and for more details please visit our press page.

I’ve subscribed to the newspaper of one the eSpain citizens, Lint he simply creates fake subtitles to popular videos to make them go over events of the political life in eSpain. For Spanish speakers only and you kind of have to be living in eSpain or follow it closely to get it, but some are really funny. This last one is about the creation of a new politcal party. Link to video.
Please watch in full screen mode. Alexis Bonte the co-founder and CEO gives a quick tour of the erepublik invite only private beta.
