### Streamline Media Access for Your Startup Pitch Competition

Managing media accreditation for tech startup events requires a professional, efficient process that captures all the details you need while providing a smooth experience for journalists, content creators, and media professionals.

This **Tech Startup Pitch Competition Media Accreditation Form** is designed specifically for event organizers hosting pitch competitions, demo days, and startup showcases who need to credential press and media attendees. Whether you're running a regional startup competition or a major innovation summit, this template helps you collect the right information to grant appropriate access levels while maintaining event security and professionalism.

#### Perfect for Event Planners, Startup Communities & Innovation Hubs

This form template is ideal for:

 - **Event management companies** coordinating startup and innovation events
 - **Accelerators and incubators** hosting demo days and pitch competitions
 - **Venture capital firms** organizing portfolio showcases
 - **Tech conferences** featuring startup pitch segments
 - **Innovation centers** and entrepreneurship programs
 - **Media coordinators** managing press access for business events

#### What This Media Accreditation Form Captures

The template collects comprehensive media credentials including journalist contact details, media outlet information, assignment focus, coverage type (broadcast, print, digital, podcast), specific access requirements for judging panels and investor networking sessions, equipment needs, and technical specifications. Conditional logic ensures media professionals only see relevant questions based on their coverage type and access needs.

#### Automate Your Media Management Workflow

Once a journalist submits their accreditation request, you can use **Stepper** (stepper.io) to automatically route applications for approval, generate custom media badges with QR codes, send event briefs and schedules to approved media, create press kits with startup information, and sync accredited media lists with your event management platform. This eliminates manual spreadsheet tracking and ensures your PR team always has up-to-date information on who's covering your event.

If you need additional documentation like photo/video release agreements or embargo acknowledgments, you can use **Papersign** (papersign.com) to automatically generate and send these for eSignature immediately after media accreditation approval, keeping all documentation linked to the original application.

#### Built for Professional Events That Attract Media Attention

With Paperform, you can brand this accreditation form to match your event identity, embed it directly on your event website, or share it via a custom domain for a polished first impression. The form works beautifully on mobile devices, allowing journalists to apply for credentials on the go. Integrated analytics help you track application volume, media outlet diversity, and coverage interest areas to better plan your event and allocate resources.
