/ About this event

Can you make your company matter in one minute?

Step up to the mic and tell your company or product story in just 60 seconds to a panel of people who hear pitches for a living — tech reporters (Don Clark, enterprise tech reporter from The New York Times and Chris Velazco, personal tech reporter), analyst David Smith, and Katie Eggers from NovaScale Advisory. If you're a founder, start-up, builder or established company, this event is for you.

You’ll get an immediate score from the judges, expert reactions and a chance to make the Top Five which we’ll announce at the end of the event. Then stick around for lunch, networking and one-on-one feedback from Big Valley’s storytelling experts on what landed, what didn’t — and how to make your story stronger.

This event is a part of #SFTechWeek—a week of events hosted by VCs and startups to bring together the tech ecosystem. Learn more at www.tech-week.com.
