An evening where AI founders pitch their products without saying "AI."
We're all building AI startups, & somewhere along the way we picked up the same vocabulary - agentic, autonomous, MCP-native - & started using it without noticing.
The words have become a shortcut around the harder question underneath:
- who actually hurts, whats the pain, & would they pay to make it stop?
So - one night, pitch what you've built, but skip the buzzwords. Describe it like you would to a friend at a wedding. Then get real feedback from the room - other founders, builders, operators, people who've seen enough pitches to know what lands & what doesn't.
It's not a $50K hackathon. Smaller & more useful. You walk in with a pitch you've given fifty times & walk out with a better one, or a clearer sense of what's missing.
How it works
Three minutes to pitch one thing you've built, or are planning to build. Ten pitchers across two rounds with Q&A built in, then a break & final voting. Networking before & after.
The night
5:30 - 6:15 Doors, pizza, hellos
6:15 - 7:15 Round 1: five pitches + Q&A
7:15 - 8:15 Round 2: five pitches + Q&A
8:15 - 8:30 Break, voting, winners, hang out
Who this is for
If you've built something - solo, side project, internal tool, doesn't matter - you are welcome to submit your pitch. If you've been around the block on AI products & have opinions, come give feedback. If you're another founder, come watch; you'll go home wanting to rewrite your own pitch.
On feedback, since that's the point
Please be honest. If a pitch didn't land, say what would have made it land. If you wouldn't use the product, say what would change that. Find the founder after & tell them what worked & what didn't & how they can improve.
The whole night runs on the idea that real feedback is rarer & more valuable than another round of applause.
