Details

5 founders, 5 startups, 5 minutes for a grand prize of $502! 😉 — we emulate the best

…and

startups need to be less than 5 years old. 🐣 — 💩 or get off the pot

Something different, Something Refreshing

Founder-Focused

Yes that’s right founders! That’s not just a phrase, we mean it.

This ain’t a “pitch competition” but rather a “pitch advice line” (PAL). Instead of pitching judges, you’ll be bringing your startup questions to a group of advisors (and asking for advice). We’re not here to grill you on your deck. 📢 There are no decks allowed 📢! There’ll be a moderator and you’ll be sitting next to our “advisors” (think coffee shop).

Industry-Organized

You’ll be organized with other companies in similar industry / stage / vertical / problems.

We’ll organize judges to best help answer your questions and give you guidance.

Startups are the “Customer”, not the “Product”

We’re here to serve you! You’re our “customer” not our “product”.

Our help will not end at the end of the night. We’re here to help you on your journey. See this as the start of our relationship rather than the end.
