About Event

Join us for Project Pitch Night, a fun evening of innovative ideas and potential collaboration! Whether you're thinking of a new initiative, startup, or a creative way to solve pressing global issues, this is your chance to share ideas and receive feedback. 

Where: RSVP for address

When: Sunday, November 10 at 6pm. Try to arrive by 6:30!

Agenda

6:00–6:30pm: Mingling
6:30–6:45pm: Introduction to Pitch Project Night
6:45–7:45pm: Pitch presentations
7:45–8:00pm: Voting & results announced
8:00–9:00pm: Unstructured conversation about potential projects 

Whether you're looking for collaborators, want feedback on an idea, or just want to learn what others are working on, this night will aim to present actionable ideas. I hope we can have a group formed to start working on a project together by the end of the evening!

How it works

  • Submit your project ideas ahead of the event. They can be freshly conceived or fully developed.

  • Each participant will have 5 minutes to pitch their idea to the audience. We will have a projector if you have slides, but it's not necessary.

  • After each pitch, there will be 5 minutes for attendee questions.

  • After 6 or 7 pitches, attendees will vote on their favorites. The winning projects will receive a goofy certificate and bragging rights.

Project criteria

This is a way to source ideas that our group can work on to have a positive impact and/or build career capital. This can be an idea for an independent or group project, a new nonprofit, or even a startup.

Some questions we may consider:

  • What kinds of expertise, skills, or resources would the project need?

  • How can we quickly test if the project has legs?

  • How much would we learn from the project if it went as expected? Or better? Or worse?
