Startup Pitch & Networking in Melbourne

Meet founders, investors, operators and startup specialists in Richmond for an evening of live pitches and structured networking. The session is designed around early-stage startup feedback, with networking before and after the pitch presentations.

What to expect

• Structured networking sessions before and after the pitches
• Conversations with founders, investors, venture scouts, operators, marketers, salespeople, business advisers and AI experts

Pitching

A limited group of founders will be selected in advance to pitch to investors and experts. Selected founders have five minutes to cover their idea, business model, target market and investment ask, followed by a short Q&A.

To be considered, purchase a Pitch Ticket, complete the Pitch Application Form and send a pitch deck. Pitch approval is required, and a pitch deck is mandatory. Four to six founders will be selected.
