Bouken Capital on Tour | San Diego, CA
A private, invite-only virtual series featuring live founder pitches and direct investor feedback for California’s startup ecosystem.
Whether you’re a founder raising your next round, refining your message, or an investor looking to cut through the noise in the pitch deck, this event is for you.
Three selected founders will pitch live to a curated room of founders, investors, and ecosystem partners. Each pitch will be followed by direct, unfiltered feedback from our panel on story, strategy, and delivery.
No fluff. No crowd-sourced opinions. Just focused, high-caliber guidance from people who've been on both sides of the table.
If you're not pitching, you'll still walk away with insight. Watching live pitches get dissected in real time is one of the highest-leverage ways to sharpen your own.
