How It Works

The room doesn't care about your deck.

It cares whether you can hold attention for seven minutes and answer the one question every investor in the room is asking: why you, why now, why this number?

Founder presenting at a pitch event with investors in the audience
01

Apply or Reserve

Open Now

Founders submit a 60-second deck preview and one-line thesis. Investors confirm accreditation and check-size range. Free RSVP gets livestream access.

7 Minutes. One Shot.

The Pitch

Each founder gets exactly seven minutes under the spotlight. No filler slides. The MC cuts you at the buzzer. Then three minutes of Q&A from the room.

03

The Bar Opens. Deals Close.

The Close

Post-pitch networking runs until 10:30 PM. Facilitated 1:1 matching slots pair founders with investors who flagged interest during pitches. Wires have been sent before midnight.

All pre-seed at time of pitch

I walked in with a deck and walked out with two term sheets. By the time the bar opened, Marcus had already texted me a wire amount. PitchNight is the only pitch event where investors are actually ready to move.

Founder, Stacklane · Raised $500K in 11 days post-event

I've been to twenty pitch events. PitchNight is the only one where the founders are pre-vetted enough that I'm not wasting an evening. The format is brutally efficient — you know within 3 minutes if you want to follow up.
