Find a Startup to Join or Watch

Welcome!
If you are a developer, UX designer, marketer, or anyone else in the tech ecosystem looking to join or help a tech startup, or even just get involved in a project, this event is for you! And this one is special, as some people from the nearby JP Morgan Healthcare Conference will likely be there.

We will be introducing projects for you to get involved with during the pitches. There is no group like this on Meetup or in the startup world because we filter out the BS and get you going on a project ASAP.

What happens first in the event is startup founders pitch their business or idea to the audience, which is full of the developers, designers, marketers, etc.

After the last pitch, the audience with be able to vote on a winner who will become eligible to pitch during the championship round at the end of the year to win the grand prize!

After that, there are breakout rooms to continue building, workshopping, and/or onboarding the startup with attendees. If you are interested in one of the projects / startups, you can join one.

People have been able to start and advance their businesses as a result of this process.

If you would like to pitch, RSVP here, and you can sign up on the day of the event. This event is **free** to attend. You can also support us with a donation (paid ticket) to get a reserved spot to pitch or a seat if we reach capacity.

Startup Oasis was created to pierce the illusion of accessibility of startups and tech by creating a grassroots forum for early-stage founders to pitch to those in the tech ecosystem to get real-time feedback for their idea or business.
