COMMON Pitch is a non-traditional, international event series that shines a spotlight on the best new ideas for sustainable innovation and reinvention.
Launched by COMMON, an accelerator for social change founded by Alex and Ana Bogusky, Rob Schuham and John Bielenburg in the summer of 2011, COMMON Pitch has been featured in most major publications, including The New York Times, Washington Post, The Guardian, The Next Web, FOX News and Mashable.

Past participants in COMMON Pitch hail from over 13 countries, representing over 30 startups in the areas of technology, consumer products and services. Milwaukee is only the third US city approved to host a COMMON Pitch event in 2012, and the sole event focused exclusively on innovation in America – a distinction that acknowledges the area’s increasingly welcome climate for creativity, technology and entrepreneurialism.
