Former Dragon Doug Richard has taken to Twitter and it’s new video app Vine to accept very quick six second pitches as part of his Launch Me competition.

If you haven’t used Vine yet, it’s the official video app for Twitter and videos are restricted to a length of six seconds. Here’s what a Vine looks like (courtesy of Doug Richard).

Richard’s Launcher programme provides funding for 18-30 year-old budding entrepreneurs. The best three pitches will get the chance to participate in a live Google+ Hangout with Doug to try and convince him that their business deserves a £10,000 loan for their idea.
