Are you building something bold? Wondering how investors really think about your pitch? Join us for Startup Shift: Real Pitches. Real Feedback., an interactive startup event where founders step into the spotlight to present their ideas to a live panel of expert investors and advisors from the local ecosystem. This isn't a demo day. It's a no-fluff, fast-paced pitch event where each founder has 3 minutes to pitch, followed by blunt and honest feedback from the jury. Scores are given on a 1–5 scale — but no 3s allowed!

Who should Attend?

  • Anyone who wants feedback from leading entrepreneurs 
  • Anyone who has an early-stage startup and wants expert feedback
  • Anyone who has an idea for a startup or a tech company
  • Anyone who needs practice and expert advice on pitching 

Who Pitches?

We will select 10 startups to pitch; please pre-submit your 3-min pitch here. To prepare, work on your one sentence pitch at: https://fi.co/one-sentence-pitch.

Deadline to submit your pitch is September 11th

Spectators are welcome!

Even if you don't want to pitch, you are invited to register, hear startup ideas, and watch how the experts analyze and critique new businesses.
