💸 SF'S #1 TECH SHOWCASE IS REBORN – INTRODUCING SF PITCH NIGHT! 💸
For two years, we've been famous for our groundbreaking demo nights. Now, we're revolutionizing the experience into something brand new and never before seen. This November, get ready for SF PITCH NIGHT!
San Francisco’s sharpest minds. The most explosive new companies. One electric night focused on the pitch, the fundraising, and attracting top-tier talent!
Every month we outdo ourselves, and this November is set to eclipse everything that came before. We’re moving beyond the demo to focus on the vision, the strategy, and the team. Expect the city’s top founders, investors, and engineers elbow-to-elbow as 10 hand-picked pre-Series A teams present their pitch decks to build the future.
Powered by The AI Collective and Roam, here's what's in store:
-
⚡️ 10 elite curated pitches from the Bay's most visionary founders
-
🧬 Interactive Pitch Night App to connect, follow up, and join waitlists instantly
-
💰 Expert judges – our expert panel of VCs and operators will challenge the founders on their vision and strategy in real time
-
🏆 Live community voting to crown the night’s champions and etch them into our Hall of Fame
Highlighted previous demo night recaps: March '25, January '25, December '24, August '24, June '24, May '24, March '24 🎞️
We’re selecting 10 pre-Series A teams for the November spotlight. Want feedback on your pitch deck from SF’s most energized tech crowd? Hit the link below and apply by 11:59 PM, the Thursday before the event. Bring a vision that will captivate investors and attract world-class talent – let’s make this a true insider’s look at the next big thing!
Note: Our summer events shattered attendance records and sparked partnerships across the Valley. November picks up that energy and pushes it higher: sharper pitches, bigger questions, and higher stakes. We had nearly 100 applications to present last time so please bear with us if we can't get around to showcasing you this time around. Thanks!!
