About the Event
It's time to go beyond the deck and see the best live tech from New York's emerging startups.
Welcome to a pitch event with a twist. We skip the fluff and focus on what matters: a live look at real products.
This pitch & demo showcase gives you a first look at new technology from startups that are actively building and shipping product — sometimes even before VCs have seen them!
The format is fast-paced and interactive. After each demo, the floor is open for questions, ideas, and honest feedback from the community.
We welcome investors who want an unfiltered look at new technology and early-stage teams.
