Pitch Karaoke

What

Started in 2022, Pitch Karaoke has become one of ThriveHI’s most popular community events. Think of it as an open-mic night meets a startup pitch competition. At its core, Pitch Karaoke is a low-stakes pitch competition designed for aspiring entrepreneurs at the idea to pre-seed stage. We’re proud to partner with Hawai‘i Angels and Builders VC, whose representatives join us to judge, mentor, and connect with participants at each event.

Dinner and drinks will be provided. Note: Food will be ordered at 1:30PM on the day of the event. Any reservations after that point is not guaranteed food.
