Pitch and HAHAHAHA 🎤

SF pitches are boring AF. Let’s fix that.

For SF Tech Week, 18VC and Invisible are putting founders on stage with one challenge: **pitch your startup and make the room laugh.** You have five minutes. Your TAM slide won’t save you.

Tell a story. Work the crowd. Roast your industry, your own startup, or each other. Because a great pitch should do more than explain what you’re building. It should make people actually want to listen.

**And yes, we’re bringing a literal decibel meter.** We’ll measure the laughs to see who brings the house down.

The lineup:

🎤 **3-minute pitches. No Q&A.** Save “this is more of a comment than a question” for another event.

😂 **2-minute open mic slots.** Got a bit, a roast, or some unresolved feelings about your last accelerator? Here’s your moment.

🏆 **Top three win bragging rights**, with cash prizes + AI credits.

🍿 **Snacks and drinks.** Come hungry for something other than product-market fit.

Whether you’re pitching, roasting, or just watching founders discover that comedy is harder than fundraising, there’s a seat for you.

**RSVP. Bring a friend. Preferably the one who keeps telling you their pitch is funny.**

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.
