​It’s the return of Open Mic Night at Raid The Fridge! 

​Piloted in 2023, Open Mic Night resumes on April 24 (Thursday), a community platform created by Kickstart Ventures for tech startup founders and leaders to pitch to an audience.

​Why Open Mic?

• ​Get a spot on the stage and connect with our supportive Raid The Fridge community! No need to wait for a Demo Day or pitch competition – Open Mic is here for you.

​Who Should Join, and Why?

• ​Open Mic is for tech startup founders and leaders with the following call to action:

  • ​Pitch for funding to investors in the audience;

  • ​Pitch for commercial/bizdev leads;

  • ​Looking for talents to hire

• ​It is also for tech startups looking for feedback from founders/leaders who have been there and done that — so you’re one step closer to a compelling pitch when fundraising or selling

• ​IMPORTANT: Open Mic is limited to tech startups, not traditional MSMEs. 

​Next Steps:

• ​To apply for an Open Mic slot, click HERE. We will accept applications until April 14 (Mon).

• ​To attend Raid The Fridge, register via this Luma page.

​Feel free to share our Open Mic event with tech startup founders in your respective networks, especially if you know these startup founders will benefit from the exposure – practicing their pitches, increasing their networks, and generating leads.

​Best,

​The Kickstart Team
