PITCH. LAUGH. PITCH. FUND. etc.
UPCOMING LIVE EVENTS
Tossing a few up-and-coming CEOs on stage to pitch their Seed round, but it comes with a huge twist! Pitching more than just their real business... they'll pitch a FAKE business idea, too!
Event
Picking a Bad Business Idea
Each CEO presenting will pick a ridiculous business idea. They could get ideas like pigeon messaging or a flat earth cruise line. We won't know until they open up that mystery box!
Event
QUICK! Prep the Pitch Deck
These CEOs will only have 15 minutes to prepare the presentations!
Event
Pitch within 5mins!
They'll need to convince the crowd that this insanely bad business idea could work. Time's ticking with only 5 minutes to pitch the plan!
Event
Have a Laugh!
The audience gets a good laugh while seeing how these CEOs communicate, out from behind their real business, handle adaptability, and more. Can they handle the pressure?!
Event
Back to Business
Jokes aside, these CEOs will then pitch their REAL business. Investors will see a different side to the team and company they might be investing with.
Event
Hustle Time
Open floor networking among entrepreneurs and investors. Make the most of the time and share which bad idea could've worked.
SharkArms
Spencer Bardsley (CEO of Shared Vision) was given the challenge of ‘Inflatable Arm Muscles’. A solution we didn’t think we needed in our lives. Spencer had investors wondering about the many use cases.
JarGo
Previously on ShitPitch, Morgan Williams (CEO of Blendyd) presented her bad business idea on Corporate Jargon Translators! A horrible idea that she turned into something worth listening to.
Reverse Supplements
Brad Moss (CEO of enhanced.ai) was amazing! He didn’t just wow us all with his bad business pitch but leveraged enhanced.ai to create it! Using his real solution to create something in 15minutes with AI!

Ready for them FAQs?
Yes! You’ll also have to pitch a bad business idea which is given to you at the event! Game on? I thought so. Simply, click on the upcoming events section to find the event you’d like to be involved in. Select to be an audience participant. If you aren’t selected at that event, then you’ll be the first on the review list for the subsequent event in your area.
A little bit of everything. Ranging from 10 to 15 investors. VC, Angels, Funds, etc. Most are targeting early-stage to seed with a focus on AI, Tech, SaaS, FinTech, and more. Investors are never the same, just like the CEOs that attend, making each event full of new people to connect with.
Plenty of time after the pitching event to network with CEOs and Investors. That being said, the networking comes with a BIG ask. Please be aware that investor’s time is precious and 99.9999999% of the time they won’t close a deal on the spot. My suggestion for CEOs wanting to connect with investors? Make a short and fun interaction, shit talk about which pitch they thought was the most entertaining! Don’t rush a good relationship.

Been there and done that. Seen it firsthand as the CEO of a startup. Stepping into an event, only to get stopped by countless service providers. The intent is to limit the service providers in the room by having a select few come as sponsors. Although this isn’t perfect, be kind to them, not all are out solely to get your wallet.
Solid! First, some housekeeping, keep it clean. Second, bring it on! Submit your idea below:
