Find a Cofounder, Help or Join a Startup

Welcome to Startup Oasis!

If you are a startup founder, investor, developer, marketer, or anyone else in the tech ecosystem looking to start, join, or help a tech startup, this event is for you! Entrepreneurs pitch their startups to the attendees; then, you can join a breakout room/area (that we curate) to talk to the founders, ask questions, and give feedback. People have been able to start a business as a result of this process. You are welcome to just watch as well.

If you would like to pitch, please 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 here or on our Eventbrite page.

We are visiting San Francisco for TechCrunch Disrupt and will have this special event at the Treeline located inside of Sports Basement at Bryant Street. Look for the flyers on the ground floor! This is a TechCrunch Disrupt after party. But you can still attend this event if you didn't attend TC Disrupt.

Schedule:

2:30 PM - Door Open: early bird networking

3:00 PM - Networking. Sign up at the check-in table if you want to pitch your startup

3:25 - Founders are chosen to pitch

3:30 - Startup Oasis Begins, Founders Pitch.

4:00 to 6:00 PM - Founders break off into break-out rooms/areas, and attendees can move around and help one for the remainder of the time, similar to a hackathon.

6:00 - Head to happy hour @ Standard Deviant Brewing

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.
