NYC's First-Ever-Sky-High Pitch Competition Event at the Edge Observation Deck
It all starts now, folks.
We’re set for an experience like no other—where modern wellness meet cutting-edge tech, and Apollo Society collides with Rocket Mixer to create something extraordinary in one of the best outdoor venues of the world— the Edge, observation deck.
First off, we are going to start our morning with a guided breathwork conducted by a professional instructor. That’s when we take a moment to relax, recharge our mind and body and enjoy the stunning view of NYC!
With focus sharpened, the competition begins.
10 founders will deliver elevator pitches to a panel of top investors. The top three move on to a finale round, where they’ll pitch again in more detail and receive deeper feedback.
The winner receives a prize package including sponsor-backed services, such as Free 2-year subscription to Lazo One, Free business incorporation, 50% off tax and bookkeeping services from Lazo, a Draper House scholarship, wellness goodies, and exclusive access to a private breakfast with investors and VIP guests—held right after the event.
🎁🎁🎁 Every attendee will receive a bag of goodies from our sponsors, plus a complimentary pass to the full signature Othership experience—which includes guided group breathwork and meditation in both a sauna and ice bath, and a package of services from Lazo (free 6-month subscription to Lazo One, 50% off tax and bookkeeping services).
