​Join us for the final pitch presentations of Realist Lab’s Launchathon.

​Throughout the day, participants will work in teams to explore local challenges in Connecticut and build early-stage business ideas around them. In the evening, those teams take the stage to share what they’ve built.

​The Pitch Showcase is open to the public and is a chance to:

• ​Hear fresh ideas rooted in real community needs

• ​See what can happen in just one day of focused collaboration

• ​Support participants as they practice pitching and storytelling

• ​Get a feel for entrepreneurship in action

​Whether you’re curious about startups, interested in local problem-solving, or just want to see what people can create when given the space to try, you’re welcome here.

​Doors open at 4:30 PM pitches start promptly at 5:00 PM

​Want to pitch instead of just watch?
Full-day participant registration for Launchathon is still open until January 19.
