No other event gives attendees access to so much.

Since we started the CrowdPitch Competition at the 13th Founder Showcase, all three winners have closed a significant funding round, including UpOut, who went on to raise $850,000Knightscope, who has since raised raised $1 million; and Camperoo, who was admitted into Y Combinator.

To participate in the CrowdPitch Competition:

  1. Purchase a ticket to the 16th Founder Showcase, taking place on May 12th.
  2. Submit a one-sentence text pitch on our Facebook Contest page.

Through online voting and a live pitch webinar hosted by Adeo Ressi (Founder & CEO of the Founder Institute), we will select the top pitch on Thursday, May 7th. That company will be able to pitch their company for two minutes to a panel of experts onstage at the Founder Showcase in front of hundreds of investors and press!
