As part of it's 25th Anniversary celebrations, Virgin Atlantic has launched a new show, PitchTV, which is airing onboard and is also available online here on virgin.com.

We're inviting entrepreneurs in search of investment and exposure for their business ideas to upload short video pitches.

The community here will vote for their favourite video pitches and each month, the winning videos will feature as part of Virgin Atlantic's PitchTV show which will air on their inflight entertainment system - gaining exposure to the hundreds of business professionals who regularly fly Virgin Atlantic. Anyone interested in hearing more about the most popular entrepreneurs' business ideas will then be able to get in contact and maybe help take their ideas further.

When I was starting out, I wish I could have had the chance to pitch my business ideas directly to people who could help make my ambitions a reality. We can now make that happen for you.

If you're a budding entrepreneur, we're giving you the unique opportunity of getting your ideas by top business professionals from around the world on board Virgin Atlantic planes as well online here.

Who knows - among the viewers might be someone with the power to bring your idea to life.

All you have to do is film yourself delivering the very best pitch possible, but make sure it's no longer than 2 minutes. Then simply follow the instructions here.

So get your 2 minute pitches together and may the best ones get the exposure they deserve!

Good luck!

As an airline pilot and entrepreneur I'm excited to get involved with PitchTV. I'd argue there's not a more attentive audience than the peanut munching, flying public! Sir Richard, thank you for yet another great opportunity to make dreams come true!

I have no idea how to submit a video for this Pitch thing. Why can't it be a bit easier to pitch to someone like Mr Branson? Oh dear.....

How do you upload your pitch now? When you click on 'upload your video pitch here' above it takes you to a 404 OOOPS error page. What are you supposed to do?
