About Event

This year we're joining forces with a dozen other startup-focused organizations to create a combined holiday party sensation. This lively celebration will be filled with delicious food, a variety of adult beverages, games, and live music to set the perfect holiday vibe. Mingle with fellow founders, investors, and community partners while enjoying a night of networking, fun, and friendly competition.

Explore our demo tables, where startups will showcase their innovative products. As the consumer/CPG category has been expanding rapidly at Venture Mechanics, some of the booths will have free samples of newly-launched food and beverages.

To help lubricate conversation, our friends at TallOrder are sponsoring the evening with their AI Mixologist App at our ticketed bar from 5-8PM. Each event ticket comes with two drink tickets to try out their custom cocktail or mocktail experience.

The highlight of the evening will be the "Elevator Pitch Competition," kicking off at 8pm! Founders will get just 60 seconds to make their best pitch to a venture capitalist on an imaginary elevator ride. Who is the VC going to be, you ask? None other than Stanley Tucci! Come get your selfie with Stanley.

The "trapped VC" will only be allowed to emote in response to the pitch, signaling whether it captures their interest or disappoints. It’s a chance for founders to test their pitch, get feedback, and have a bit of fun while they're at it. The crowd will vote for Best Elevator Pitch, with a special gift awarded to the winner. Sign up to pitch here.

Several of our allied Seattle-area startup community groups - including Seattle Startup Friends, New Tech Northwest, the Black Founders & Funders, Veteran Founders & Funders, LGBTQ Founders & Funders, Filipino Founders & Funders, Space Founders & Funders, and others - are combining their holiday parties in with this jamboree event. Be sure to stop by their tables to learn more about them.

To add an extra layer of excitement, we're giving away free swag bags to the first 100 party-goers who complete our "Networking Bingo" challenge! Grab a bingo card when you arrive and start mingling—each square represents a different type of guest or activity at the party. Chat with a founder, demo a product, or introduce yourself to one of our community partners. Once you've filled out five in a row, head to the prize table to claim your swag bag full of exclusive Venture Mechanics goodies. It’s a fun way to meet new people, connect with the community, and take home some holiday loot!

Don't miss this unique holiday gathering, where innovation meets holiday cheer at Venture Mechanics! Parking is always free and easy at Venture Mechanics.
