Your Chance To Pitch To A Google Exec In A Cab "It's a taxi journey that could change your life"

Taxi passengers in Silicon Valley will get seven minutes to pitch their idea to an executive from Google's venture capital team.

It's a taxi journey that could change your life.

On-demand car service Uber is offering entrepreneurs in Silicon Valley the chance to pitch their ideas to Google Ventures executives during a 15-minute cab trip.

The Uber service was recently backed by Google

Uber's website says: "Entrepreneurs, dreamers and visionaries - your big break is arriving now.

"Anyone with 15 minutes and a good idea can request a ride."

The line-up of Google investors

During a four-hour window on Wednesday, visionaries with a big idea can use the Uber smartphone app to book a driver who will arrive with one of six Google Ventures investors in the back seat.

Entrepreneurs get seven minutes to pitch to the investor, while riding in the car, and then the investor will give feedback for seven minutes.

Google Ventures is the venture capital investment arm of Google, and provides funding to start-up technology companies.

As there are only six investors available – and thousands of people hoping to make it big – Uber warns "demand will be high".

Google Ventures is one of Uber’s most-recent backers, ploughing $258m (£154m) into the company.

Rides will be free, and start and end at the same point.
