Orange County's Original Fast-Pitch Competition is Back!
Join TCVN for the 11th Annual Survivor Fast Pitch Competition on Tuesday May 6, during Octane's OC Innovation Week live at the UCI Cove.
All attendees will have the opportunity to present their 30-second lightning pitch to the audience for a chance to advance to the semi-finals. Watch as this year's finalists compete on the largest Survivor stage in history for a chance to win the $2,084 cash prize, a coveted Golden Skull, and a Golden ticket to Octane's Main Stage Pitch Event on Wednesday, May 7.
Event Agenda:
5:15-6:15pm: Lightning Round ⚡
Anybody with a GA ticket will have the opportunity to pitch their company or idea. During this time, you will have 30-seconds to convince the audience that you deserve a spot in the semi-finals. The lightning round is first come, first serve, so be sure to save a spot in line. Only THREE (3) pitches will advance from the lightning round to the semi-finals.

To bypass the lightning round and secure yourself a guaranteed spot in the semi-finals, be sure to purchase a PitchPass. Semi-finalists will have 90-seconds to pitch to a panel of expert judges. Only THREE (3) pitches will advance from the semi-finals to the final round. Upgrade to PitchPass+ and enjoy an exhibitor booth as well as complimentary tickets for your team.
