Pitch Irvine: Grand Finale @ Irvine City Hall
Want to see what the next generation of founders is building — before everyone else does?
Join us for the Grand Finale of Pitch Irvine, where the top startups from Irvine and across Orange County take the stage after a full day of competition.
🚀 Pitch Irvine — Grand Finale
You’ll watch the best teams across Applied AI, Healthcare Innovation, Energy & Mobility, and DTC & Commerce pitch live — in front of investors, founders, and operators — all competing for the top spot.
💡 Each track winner will receive a $1,000 prize, and all participants will be eligible for the People’s Choice Award, offering an additional opportunity to win $1,000 through audience voting.
This is not a passive audience. You’ll be part of the energy — showing up, supporting teams, and helping spotlight the founders who deserve to win.
Expect:
Innovative ideas and real ambition
a room full of builders, investors, and operators
live reactions, momentum, and community support behind standout teams
Whether you’re discovering startups early, meeting your next collaborator, or just want to be in the room where it happens — this is it.
📅 May 8 — Grand Finale (following Semi-Finals)
