Pitch Science

​What do you get when scientists pitch their research like it’s a startup idea? A petri dish full of bold claims and commercial dreams.

​ 🧪 Pitch Science brings academic research face-to-face with real-world business: join a rapid-fire session where researchers take the stage, pitch their work, and founders respond with honest, practical feedback grounded in startup experience. It’s about turning bright minds into bold ventures, helping scientists find their footing in the business world, and making sure groundbreaking ideas don’t get stuck in the lab. Think Shark Tank, with more molecules and fewer buzzwords. 

​🚀 Whether you're a founder chasing fresh tech, an investor scouting what’s next, or simply someone who enjoys watching smart people get challenged in real time, this is science at its most unscripted. It might get messy. It might get brilliant. Probably both.
