'Pitch' is a comedy writing app that serves as a place where anyone can read jokes, but an invite-only app for writers who want to share their unique point of view with the world.
True to its name, Pitch has contributors pitch their best joke ideas in response to various prompts such as "rejected app ideas" or "analogy contest: dating someone who's into crossfit is like..." Best of all, one's pitches are anonymous and writers are only credited once a topic has been closed and it was recognized as having merit.
As well as being rewarded with a sense of accomplishment for creating funny content, writers have the potential to be paid for their work and see it appear in everything from sketches, articles and merchandise from companies like Funny or Die to live events.
