Startup Speakeasy: Open Mic for Unhinged Founders

​Pitch. Roast. Repeat.

​Tired of pitching to investors who don’t get it?
Come pitch to people who do — and aren’t afraid to call out your buzzwords.

​Startup Speakeasy is where you bring your early-stage chaos, bold ideas, or perfectly mid startup pitch — and deliver it in front of a room full of other builders who will roast you and root for you.

​🎤 How it works:

• ​3 mins to pitch — slides not mandatory, just your main character story

• ​3 mins of hot takes, honest feedback, and crowd commentary

• ​Roast panel made of fellow founders (and maybe a spicy guest VC or two)

​🍕 Food, drinks, and founder therapy provided
🔥 Great if you’re:
→ Prepping for a fundraise
→ Battling imposter syndrome
→ Sitting on a brilliant but unserious idea
→ Just want to test your story and sharpen your edge

​💥 Expect brutal honesty, lots of laughter, and ideas that get 10x better by the end of the night.
