About Event

See in minutes what most investors miss in months

One real pitch. One fake one. One shot to prove who's worth backing.

Seen on CNBC, ShitPitch hits 20 national cities before filming its January TV pilot in Utah. Founders pitch both a real startup and a fake one—live, onstage, in front of real investors.


💸 Why Investors Attend

This is founder due diligence—disguised as entertainment.
See how Seed & Series A founders think under pressure, communicate under chaos, and lead without a script. Real companies. Real capital. No filters.


🚀 Why Founders Attend

Pitch your company—and a fake one completely impromptu. It’s not about perfection. It’s about presence, clarity, and grit. Stand out and earn a shot at the filmed finale in Utah.

Not pitching? No problem.
You’ll still be in the room with top-tier investors, operators, and other bold founders—network, connect, and make your presence known.
