About Event

📣 NOTE: Based on participants' interests during this busy week, we changed from the 2-day (Thursday & Friday) Hackathon to this one-day (Friday) pitch party.

🚀 Turn Your Most Ambitious Passion Into a Startup Pitch! Dream it. Pitch it. Roast it. Realize it.


🚀 Why Join?

  • Socratica Symposium Sparks: Turn inspiration from Socratica Symposium into action—build, pitch, and refine with live feedback.

  • Meet Aspiring entrepreneurial builders: We have a group of 20-30 selected entrepreneurial builders who are into AI, urban tech, consumer products, robotics, education, biotech, quantum computing, media, community building, and venture collaboration (co-founding, hiring, investing).

  • Pitch Like a Pro: Transform half-baked ideas into compelling stories.

  • Roast & Refine: Get brutally honest feedback from peers.

  • Code Optional, Creativity Mandatory: Build a prototype, pitch a napkin sketch, or just vibe with the crowd.

  • End with Beats: Celebrate with a DJ party—Dance if you like :)


🗓️ Schedule:

4:00 PM – Doors Open

4:15 PM – 5:00 PM: (Optional Pre-event) Pitch Alchemy Workshop
