RevTech Ventures 9K Club Pitch Competition + Happy Hour
The 9K Club was launched in 2024 by Hunter Zhang, Vincy Qi, and David Matthews to celebrate the scrappy, resourceful founders who can move fast with almost no capital. Each of them built and scaled their first company with less than $10,000, proving that creativity and grit can outweigh check size.
Join us at the newly opened Compton for an evening of connection and live pitches from some of the most promising retail and consumer startups in the region. The bar will be open, the room will be full of founders and operators, and the energy will be high as companies compete for real capital and real momentum.
RevTech Ventures is opening the doors to the broader NWA startup community for this happy hour and pitch event. Come grab a drink, meet new people, and cheer on the founders taking the stage.
A panel of RevTech mentors will select the winners, with awards inspired by RevTech’s founder story:
$9,000 — 1st Place (The 9K Club Award)
$1,000 — Runner-Up
Hope to see you there.
