💸 SF’S #1 TECH SHOWCASE IS BACK – SF PITCH NIGHT RETURNS THIS JANUARY! 💸 Last November, we packed the house for our first‑ever SF Pitch Night – our most popular event yet! The energy, crowd, and caliber of founders blew everyone away. Now we’re doing it again! Kick off 2025’s first big SF event with the return of the city’s ultimate AI and tech pitch showcase. Bigger stage. Sharper founders. Even more electric energy! ⚡ San Francisco’s brightest minds, the most explosive new companies, and one high‑stakes night focused on vision, fundraising, and next‑gen innovation! This January, join an audience of top founders, investors, and operators as 6 hand‑picked pre‑Series A teams take the stage to pitch their boldest ideas and battle for the spotlight. Powered by The AI Collective and Roam, here's what's in store: Highlighted ​previous event recaps: November '25, October '25, March '25, January '25, December '24, August '24, June '24, May '24, March '24 🎞️ We’re selecting 6 pre-Series A teams for the November spotlight. Want feedback straight from investors and the Bay’s most energized tech crowd? Apply by 11:59 PM, the Thursday before the event. Bring vision, grit, and a product that can shift industries – this is where the next breakout story begins! ​Note: Our events last year shattered attendance records and sparked progress across the Valley. This event picks up that energy and pushes it higher: sharper pitches, bigger questions, and higher stakes! We had 100+ applications to present last time so please bear with us if we can't get around to showcasing you this time around. Thanks!! Our judging panel of leading VCs and operators will be announced soon – expect accomplished investors and builders from top firms and AI ventures. They’ll sit center‑stage, challenge pitches live, and ultimately decide who wins the Best Pitch Award on behalf of the entire community. This event offers a groundbreaking interactive experience! With the pitch night app in hand, every attendee is engaged and active! Through the app, you can easily discover more about the presenting companies, join the conversation by asking questions, share valuable feedback, and express interest in joining or investing! 🙌 When the night wraps up, the entire community will have a say in selecting the winners. Those champions will earn a permanent place in our Hall of Fame! 🏆 As always, food and drink, engaging conversation, and incredible company will all be provided!
