HOT or NOT: Is your startup fundable or just interesting?

​Is your startup fundable or just interesting?

​This is not just a pitch workshop. It’s a live diagnostic lab for founders serious about making their company sellable and fundable.

​If your pitch gets a “yes” from us, it means your company is worth pursuing—and we’ll show you exactly how to get there.

​🎯 WHAT IT IS:

​Hot or Not is a fast-paced, feedback-rich event where founders test and improve their investor pitches in front of a live audience of experts, investors, and peers.

​You’ll get live coaching, clarity on what’s working (and what isn’t), and direct support to help you tell a fundable story.

​🧠 WHAT TO EXPECT:

• ​Mini-Masterclass (10 min)
  Learn the exact format top investors look for in early-stage pitches—clarity, traction, momentum.

• ​Breakout Pitch Rounds
  Founders pitch in small groups of 3–4. After your 2-minute pitch, you’ll get quick, actionable feedback from investors, experts, and other founders.

• ​Main Room Showdown
  Everyone returns to the main room. Founders who submitted their pitch script and/or deck in advance at PitchToYes.com will receive personalized, live feedback and rewrites from expert coaches.

​We call on founders in the order of submissions—because we reward those who prepare. Even if you’re still drafting your pitch, submit what you’ve got and we’ll help shape it live.
