Pitch Please

​Join us for an energizing afternoon of pitches, networking, and deep dives into some of Seattle's most promising early-stage AI startups!

​📅 When: Once a month, 2.5-hour afternoon sessions

​✨ What’s Happening?

• ​Pitch Session (1.5 hours): 6 talented founders get the spotlight—4-5 founders selected from the AI2 applicant pool, plus 1-2 wildcard spots chosen from event attendees who submit their innovative ideas. Each founder has 15 minutes—3-minute pitches followed by 10 minutes of candid feedback and Q&A from AI2 Incubator’s experts including:

  • ​Yifan Zhang (AI2 Incubator Managing Director)

  • ​Vu Ha (AI2 Incubator Technical Director)

  • ​Special guest VC judge (TBA)!

• ​Networking Mixer (1 hour): Stick around afterward to network with founders, potential co-founders, investors, and AI enthusiasts.

​🚀 Audience Participation:

• ​Audience votes on their favorite pitch—"Audience Choice" winner automatically receives a guaranteed 1:1 meeting with AI2 Incubator.

​🔑 Post-Event Opportunities:

• ​AI2 selects which of the pitching founders (could be all 6) to invite for follow-up 1:1 meetings, exploring potential investment and incubation.

​Whether you're pitching, exploring co-founder opportunities, or simply looking for inspiration, join us and elevate your startup game!
