DETAILS

Startup Valley - Manhattan



A curated pitch night for startup founders, operators, angels & VC partners.

We design these sessions to help founders sharpen their thinking through direct, candid feedback - & to give strong investors access to serious teams.



What happens:

4-8 startups pitch live & receive feedback from angels & VC partners

Feedback focuses on real decisions & next steps - not surface-level opinions

Investors stay in the room before & after pitches

The format leaves space for real conversations, not rushed networking

Attendance is limited to keep the room focused

Designed for clear thinking, not noise.

Startup founders

Angel investors & VC partners
