AI Devtool Buyer Pitch
Apply to Pitch Engineering Leaders OR Just Attend & 👀 Watch.
The Panel Will Also Be Sharing Their Top Priorities & We're Having Breakout Rooms
TOP REASONS TO ATTEND
🤝 Breakout Rooms --> There will be facilitated breakout rooms with the CISOs, so you get a chance to meet them and ask questions.
🤩 Chance to Pitch --> About 5 startups will get a chance to pitch their solutions to the panelists.
💪 Identify Pain Points --> The panelist will be sharing their top pain points, so you can see if they're ready to purchase a tool like yours.
WHEN WILL I KNOW IF I'M PITCHING?
Here's our current format, but this is subject to change. 3 startups are picked ahead of the event by pre-vote judges (engineering executives & VCs), and 2 will be chosen live by the panel for a total of 5. This is a low-stakes, fun environment.
ROUGH AGENDA
5-min --> buyers share top 3 priorities they're solving
24-min --> buyers review selected startup pitches live
1-min --> buyers select the most likely tool they'd consider buying (aka the winner 🏆)
25 --> Breakout rooms - where you get to meet a CISO and ask questions
