Who Should Attend
Startup founders looking to raise funding. This is an opportunity to pitch a panel of investors and receive constructive quality feedback specific to your company. Also a great opportunity for any founder to fine-tune their pitch delivery for a specific time limit, gain further experience holding a mic and speaking in front of large crowds.
In addition, startup founders and entrepreneurs who are NOT ready to pitch are welcome to attend as audience members and watch. This can be a highly valuable learning experience to better understand the pitch process and what investors look for, and learn from feedback given by the investor panel. Then, apply these learnings to your own startup!
The Pitch Night Format
The Pitch Night event has a limited amount of pitch slots available, so purchase your pitch ticket now before they are all gone. Each startup will have 90-seconds to verbally pitch the investor panel (no pitch deck). Each investor on the panel will then provide feedback to that startup.
At the end of the event the investor panel will choose the best pitch of the night, who will receive one free demo/sponsor table ($75-$100 value) at one of our future events held within the next 30 days.
