Startup Pitch & Themed Networking New York | Unlock Your Idea

 
Founder Networking & Startup Pitch Night | New York
Most startup ideas never get the feedback they need.
You discuss them with AI, share them with friends, read another article, and move on. Real progress happens when you put your ideas in front of founders, operators, investors, and builders who understand the journey.
This event is designed to bring those people together.
💡 How the Evening Works
Stage 1 — Themed Networking
Before the event, attendees vote on discussion topics such as Fundraising, Product, GTM, Hiring, Pricing, and Growth.
You'll be matched with people who share relevant experience and interests, creating focused conversations instead of random networking.
🎤 Stage 2 — Startup Pitches
Five selected startups present live to founders, investors, and operators.
Pitching founders receive feedback, visibility, and opportunities for valuable introductions.
🍸 Stage 3 — Open Networking
After the structured sessions, conversations continue in a relaxed environment where founders, investors, and builders can connect naturally.

• Startup founders (Pre-Seed to Series A)
• Angel investors and VC professionals
• Accelerator representatives
• Product, engineering, and GTM leaders
• AI, SaaS, FinTech, ClimateTech, and ConsumerTech builders
