Entrepreneurs are a community. Investors are a community. Our Meetup brings
these two communities together. You make connections, You learn how to
shape your business plans. Entrepreneurs in Philadelphia will
meet Investors locally and if they want to, come up to NY and meet
NY Investors.

We provide regular open showcases for all kinds of Start-Ups. We guarantee
you will pitch to multiple Angel VCs. You get rated, an intro to the Investor
community, a shot at funding, invaluable advice and prize tickets to big
Investor events worth $1,000's.

AGENDA
6:00 - 7:30 Startupalooza Open VC Pitching

Startupalooza is a unique pitching contest where all startups are ranked by a large group of Investors. The Top 4 get to do a public "pitch-off" and the winner gets up to $4500 in prizes.

After more than 10 years of helping selected Entrepreneurs raise capital - we've figured how to open it up to everyone!

Pitch or take the Launch Program Sign up to pitch only - or for our Launch Program which helps you shape your pitch the way Investors really want to hear it. (Includes analysis, consultation, before and after pitching.) As one happy Startup reported: "Your advice helped a lot to improve the slides..... I repeated it at a FundingPost event and was voted best pitch by VC and Angels. I got invited to their offices...."
