Note: Our summer events shattered attendance records and sparked partnerships across the Valley. November picks up that energy and pushes it higher: sharper pitches, bigger questions, and higher stakes. We had nearly 100 applications to present last time so please bear with us if we can't get around to showcasing you this time around. Thanks!!
This event offers a groundbreaking interactive experience! With the pitch night app in hand, every attendee is engaged and active! Through the app, you can easily discover more about the presenting companies, join the conversation by asking questions, share valuable feedback, and express interest in joining or investing! 🙌
When the night wraps up, the entire community will have a say in selecting the winners. Those champions will earn a permanent place in our Hall of Fame! 🏆
