Startup Pitch Night “Sink or Swim”

You don't just vote. You fund.

Up to 5 Palm Beach County startups take the poolside stage. Half of every ticket goes to the founders, and you decide which one gets yours.

How it works

Startups pitch. 5 minutes each, then 2 minutes of Q&A.

You fund. Your ticket includes a Startup Support Credit worth 50% of what you paid. Give it to the startup you believe in.

You vote. Every guest gets one equal Audience Choice vote, whatever the ticket.

Then network with founders, investors, builders and operators from across Palm Beach County.
