Open Mic Pitching & Networking - Halloween Special
👻 Rare Founders Halloween Open Mic Pitch Night 🎃
We’re back from the crypt with a spooky twist on our legendary open mic pitching and networking night. This time, it’s fangs, founders, and frightfully good pitches!
💀 What to expect:
Every 20–30 minutes, 5–6 brave founders will be summoned at random to pitch their business in just 1 minute.
Go over the time limit… and beware 👀 the water guns are locked, loaded, and ready to strike.
Dress to kill (literally) costumes welcome, but not required. Although, there will be a competition and for the best costume. Top 3 will get guaranteed meeting with one of our investor partners.
A night of unfiltered networking, wickedly sharp ideas, and startup spirits rising from the shadows.
