ShitPitch Live Event - Los Angeles, CA (Santa Monica)
Laughter, pitches, and investor networking!
A nationally recognized pitch event, as seen on CNBC, where founders showcase their adaptability, communication skills, and more to top-tier investors.
Three up-and-coming founders pitch their real Seed and/or Series A round —plus one hilariously FAKE business concept to keep everyone on their toes. It’s the ultimate test of grit, creativity, and charm!
This is a curated community of some of the best humans. They also happen to be wicked smart at building and investing in startups.
