Startup Gauntlet


Investors and prospects will never tell you why your pitch is weak. We will.

  • Practice your startup pitch in front of an honest audience of fellow entrepreneurs.
  • Hone the pitch until it works. Get the feedback that you need.
  • Watch other pitches and see how yours stacks up.
  • We have three experienced entrepreneurs and investors we call Dungeonmasters. They’ve seen hundreds of pitches and will evaluate yours.
  • Only entrepreneurs ready to pitch can attend. No observers. No press. No lurkers.

How does it work?

  • Show up with a 3-minute elevator pitch.
  • We’ll draw names randomly. If you’re called, you’re on. Give your pitch.
  • Powerpoint optional! The best pitches have no props, no notes, no teleprompter. It’s all you.
  • When done, the dungeonmasters will ask you questions about your company or idea. They’ll pick it apart and show you where it can be improved.
  • Listen, improve your pitch and come back for more next time.
