Pitch Night: northstar × NewSchool

​Early ideas. Honest feedback. No ego.

​You built something at a hackathon. Or you have an idea and haven’t told anyone yet. This night is for you.

​Pitch Night brings very early-stage founders, builders and future founders to pitch in front of investors. It isn’t a stage for polished decks or traction slides. It’s a low-pressure room to share what you’re working on and get real feedback, fast.

​How it works

• ​5-minute pitches, early stage only: idea, prototype or first customers

• ​Investors give feedback, not a Q&A grilling

• ​Then drinks and food, and time to meet people

​Who it’s for

• ​Founders and builders at idea or prototype stage, from anywhere in Belgium

• ​Hackathon participants wondering “what now?”

• ​Funds and angels who want to see what’s coming early

• ​International founders and investors visiting Belgium

​Agenda

• ​18:30 Doors open

• ​19:15 Kickoff

• ​19:30 Pitches

• ​20:30 Networking, food and drinks

• ​21:30 Close

​Registration and pitch selection

​Step 1 — Register your interest

​Tell us whether you’d like to pitch or attend. If you’re applying to pitch, tell us briefly what you’re building and what feedback would help. An idea or prototype is enough; a polished deck isn’t required.

​Step 2 — Pitch selection

​northstar and NewSchool will review pitch applications and confirm the lineup separately. Approval to attend does not guarantee a pitch slot. If you aren’t selected to pitch, you can still join if your attendance is approved.
