STAY CURIOUS. FEEL ALIVE.

Forget boring panels and heavy VC buzzwords. This is a high-energy pitch night with a casino twist. Founders pitch to the entire room, and the audience plays in teams to pick the winner.

🎬 The Game Plan

• Squad Up: You get randomly placed into a 4-person team.
• Mic Roulette: The mic moves around the room. You get 30 seconds to introduce yourself. Fast and fun.
• The Showdown: Founders get 10 minutes on stage to demo their product and impress your team.
• The Grand Reveal: To keep it completely fair, voting happens only at the very end. After all pitches are done, teams debate and drop their votes at the exact same time. Total drama.

🏆 The Prizes

• For Founders: Win the room, and we feature your startup on our LinkedIn & Instagram handles for massive reach.
• For the Audience: If your team picks the winning founder, your whole squad gets free tickets to our next event.

Network and vibe until 9 PM. Spots are strictly limited for both pitchers and sharks. Lock in your seat below!
