Startup Pitch Event! The Feedback Loop
Join us for the Tuesday, September 24th taping of The Feedback Loop!
Every week, we invite a batch of early-stage startup founders to sharpen their pitch – in front of a live audience and later released on YouTube. After they deliver their 1 minute pitch, they'll receive 5 minutes of direct, actionable feedback on their pitch and concept from our check-writing investor judges.
As always, hosted by Sherveen Mashayekhi, Founder & CEO of Free Agency. Joining Sherveen as this week's featured guest judge will be Zach Goldstein, Partner @ Operator Partners! More on Zach below.
Want to pitch? Apply here! Important: this is an in-person event and will be recorded — but startups are all about execution, so don't be afraid of getting your idea out into the world!
Zach Goldstein is a Partner at Operator Partners, an early stage fund investing in startups from inception to Series B, and with a founding team of operators + former founders who take a founder-minded approach to portfolio support.
After starting his career at BlackRock, Zach entered the startup world as the first business hire at Slice, the pizzeria infra + delivery startup. He then went on to join the investing team at Union Square Ventures (USV), New York's most storied venture capital firm.
Now, he's an active angel investor in addition to his role at Operator Partners, where he focuses on fintech, consumer, and enterprise SaaS.
The session is unscripted and unfolds in real time – the judges don’t know the founders’ ideas upon their arrival. There are no slides, there is no script, and there is no live funding happening – it’s all about the natural pitch. Because the thing that holds most founders back? Storytelling. It always comes back to storytelling.
Doors open at 6pm ET, and the show will begin at 6:30pm.
