Lab to Launch: Robotics Pitch Night
Lab to Launch: Robotics Pitch Night
Robotics research doesn't stay in the lab anymore. Join us for an evening on what it actually takes to get a robotics idea out of the lab and into the world, and to see the founders doing it right now.
Berkeley Gateway Accelerator (BGA), in partnership with NOVA Robotics Institute, is hosting a Robotics Pitch Night featuring a short lightning talk, live founder pitches, and a judging panel awarding prizes to the strongest teams.
Event Format
Lightning talk on commercializing robotics research, from lab bench to real-world impact
Live pitches from early-stage robotics founders, 3 minutes each, judged by a panel of investors, industry leaders, and operators
Prizes for standout teams, including a spot at the 2027 Berkeley Robotics conference
Open networking with founders, researchers, investors, and industry throughout the evening
Speaker, judges, and pitching companies to be announced.
Pitching? Applications are open.
We're recruiting early-stage robotics founders: idea-stage through pre-MVP welcome. If you're building something and want three minutes in front of a room of investors and operators, apply here: [LINK]
Who Should Attend
Robotics founders, enthusiasts, researchers, and students; investors and operators; and the policy and legal folks shaping how this technology reaches the market.
