Coming up with an idea for a tech startup is one thing. Getting investors to believe in your idea and give you money is an entirely different story. Is your startup pitch refined and ready to go?

The Pitchfest is a collaborative session for entrepreneurs and startups to practice and refine their pitch and create a positive first impression. We offer a supportive and friendly community environment with only the best of intentions - to help you make progress, share tips, feedback and receive help for your business idea.

Don't have a business pitch? Come and network, learn or simply mingle with like minded friends! Our July SparkUp will feature: 

  • Includes Food & Drink @ Cross Campus and Beer at Barney's Beanery
  • All registrations are only $10 online or $15 at the door
  • Special $20 registration includes event ticket and a $10 donation to NFTE (Network for Teaching Entrepreneurship), the organization inspires young people from low income communities to find their paths to success.
