Hype Night
This isn’t your typical pitch night. At Hype Night, founders don’t pitch themselves—their “hype man” does it for them.
Instead of slides and self-promotion, we’re recreating how most real deals get done: through strong advocacy and warm introductions.
How It Works:
No decks. No fluff. Just real belief.
– Founders bring a hype man—an investor, advisor, mentor, or customer
– The hype man gets 3 minutes to pitch the founder + startup
– Founders stay silent while their advocate makes the case
– Live Q&A follows so guests can dig in
Beyond the Pitch: High-Impact Networking
– Curated, invite-only guest list
– No cold pitches—just authentic, referral-driven convos
– Rapid-fire 1:1 networking with founders + funders
– Investors receive a post-event deck with all featured startups and their hype men
Event Vibes:
Low-pressure, high-impact conversations over drinks and nibbles in an intimate setting.
