/ About this event

A crucial part of the pitch is practicing it, and it's even better when you can get in front of an audience and receive feedback from experts. We've partnered with HubSpot for Startups and Forecastr to give founders a chance to do exactly that, with a $3,000 Flash Pitch Competition at San Francisco Tech Week on Friday, October 9th.

Whether you're a beginner founder in the ideation stage, or a growth-stage company, we want to hear your pitch! Founders are encouraged to apply before the September 29th deadline, and the top 5 submissions will compete live in front of an audience of founders and investors for $3,000.
