Hello, I am an entrepreneur and I would like to pitch a BTV concept to our national company. I have no idea who I would seek out to pitch to. Does anyone have experience with this and could give me some ideas or tips on who I should seek to contact at this national company?

Good morning!
It depends on where you are in this concept life cycle and what the end goal of your pitch is. If you are looking for feedback to improve the concept, you would need to find someone in a product management or product marketing role and convince them of the benefits of giving you 30 minutes of their time to listen. You can find these people via Linked In. If your goal is to eventually be acquired, and assuming there is huge upaide for a national firm, look for people in Strategic Planning. If you are looking for a partner to resell the final product, look for someone in Vendor, Reseller or Third Party teams. Again you can find these people in Linked in.
You may want to start with a local entrepreneurs group before approaching national companies. Use these organizations as a sounding board to refine not only the concept, but your pitch, Here are some I found:
