Learn to pitch without slides, and see what happens in an investor's mind when a founder does not read the room.
Meet, great, founders, and investors in this interactive,low barriers setting and enjoy some of our custom mixed Welcome Drinks, courtesy of Pure Swiss Vodka.
How it works: half the room plays Bay Area characters on cards (a polite seed partner, an angel who just exited, a connector with no checks to write, someone only there for the snacks). The other half are founders who pitch their real company. Then each founder makes a call (Go for it, Later, Small ask, Move on) and says why. Right call and right reason wins the card. Most cards wins a price.Great fun, real insights, make lasting connections and hone your pitch, with food and drinks on the house!Founders at any stage are welcome, especially teams new to San Francisco. No preparation needed.
