Coastal Innovation Pitch Night
Tampa Bay innovators have spent weeks turning passion for our coast into real business concepts. On November 18, they’re pitching them.
Career switchers. Scientists. Builders who grew up on the Gulf. Each has three minutes to share an idea for making our coast more resilient, more livable, more alive.
Come watch the ideas land. Stay for the panel feedback, mentor conversations, and connections that could help bring these concepts to life.
What to expect
Three-minute pitches from Tampa Bay Coastal Innovation Studio Prep participants.
Panel feedback to help participants strengthen their ideas and identify next steps.
Opportunities to meet emerging entrepreneurs, mentors, and community partners.
Food and drinks provided by Seaworthy Collective, with a taco bar and two drinks per registered guest planned.
Time to connect before the pitches and continue conversations afterward.
Who should attend
Entrepreneurs, students, scientists, prospective mentors, community organizations, and anyone curious about solutions for our coast. You don’t need a business idea or a technical background to attend — come listen, ask questions, and meet the people building what comes next.
