Found this over at Hackernews, you guys have to check this out.

Here’s the 16 page slide-deck of how Mint.com pitched. Good reference for budding entrepreneurs who are new to pitching.

Martell’s Ultimate Startup Space

Sunday, January 3rd, 2010

Hot after the heels of the previous post about Far East Organization’s ‘Rental Space for Equity’ program, we have Martell (yes, you heard me correctly the cognac company) launching a similar campaign called ‘Rise Above’.

Martell is asking you to submit your business idea on what to do with a 760 sq ft retail space in Clarke Quay and you stand to win executive training at INSEAD as well as the space itself.

More details can be found at SGEntrepreneurs who’ve done a great writeup on the program.
