Pitch, Party, Pizza: Relai

​Pitch, Party, Pizza: Featuring Relai

​Pitch, Party, Pizza is a small event series designed to activate the local network around local companies. Each event features one startup sharing what they’re building with a curated group of founders, operators, investors, and community members who can help move the company forward.

​The goal is simple: create a space where Pittsburgh startups can get real feedback, make meaningful connections, and ask the community for the specific support they need — whether that’s customers, partnerships, talent, or introductions.

​Each event includes a short founder pitch, an overview of company history, guided feedback from attendees, and time to hang out, eat pizza, and connect. It’s intentionally informal, collaborative, and focused on helping local companies win.

​For our first event, we’re featuring Relai.

​Relai is building infrastructure for the hyperlocal movement of goods and data. Through physical units called Exchange Zones (EZs), Relai makes it easier to move items across cities while also enabling the capture and transfer of real-world data and digital assets. Over time, these nodes can support verticalized software and shared compute that compounds value across logistics, commerce, and urban systems.

​This event is an opportunity for the community to learn about what Relai is building, offer feedback, and help connect the company to the people and opportunities that can accelerate its growth.

​Come meet the team, hear the pitch, give feedback, and help strengthen the local startup ecosystem.
