The Live Edit: Startups x Storytellers

In The Live Edit, four founders step beyond the pitch deck and into a live creative studio. Working in real time with a storytelling professional to transform a complicated product into a compelling story. The audience will then vote for the story with the strongest creative potential, awarding one founder-creative team with a path to production: The CFF Greenlight Award, presented by a very special sponsor!
