Pitch Karaoke

​What

​Started in 2022, Pitch Karaoke has become one of ThriveHI’s most popular community events. Think of it as an open-mic night meets a startup pitch competition. At its core, Pitch Karaoke is a low-stakes pitch competition designed for aspiring entrepreneurs at the idea to pre-seed stage. We’re proud to partner with Hawai‘i Angels and Builders VC, whose representatives join us to judge, mentor, and connect with participants at each event.

​Dinner and drinks will be provided. Note: Food will be ordered at 1:30PM on the day of the event. Any reservations after that point is not guaranteed food.
