Pitch Nite + Speed Friending
The Bay Area is awesome if you’re in the startup world. But it’s also a little bit serious. Join us for the first ever Pitch Nite. From the folks who brought you Nerd Nite, this event will be a mix between a pitch competition and a comedy show. Founders will come on stage to finally let loose with all the jokes and fun they never get to have pitching in a professional setting, while also actually telling you about what they’re building. If you like comedy, learning about the cool stuff passionate people are building, and meeting other humans this is for you!
To encourage mingling our social game will take place before the show from 7-8. Similar to ‘Speed Dating’ or ‘Speed Networking’ our game is ‘Speed Friending’! Whether you are new to the bay and hoping to make friends or trying to expand your professional network, the game is just about meeting new people! We have a system in place to rotate everyone around to meet someone new every 5 minutes, then you can fill out an online form with which conversations you enjoyed and we’ll email you your matches! You are welcome to join late, but if you want to get the most of it arrive at 6:45 to register and the first round will start at 7.
If you’re a startup founder who would like to give a 5 minute fun comedic talk about what you’re building please reach out to rorry@perforatedai.com. Also reach out if you’re an investor or previous pitch competition judge who would like to do your usual role in a more fun and casual setting. For everyone else, grab your tickets and join us for the most fun you’ve ever had at a pitch competition!
