Flash Pitch, an event series that brings together a diverse group of founders, investors and entrepreneurs together to watch startups pitch their ventures. Each company is given 2 minutes to pitch, followed by 3 minutes of Q&A and 3 minutes of feedback with the investors. We have seen that this method keeps founders concise and effective; in turn, keeping investors engaged. The network builds on top the event series as we develop a community of NYC’s top entrepreneurs and investors.

Prices vary depending on the monthly sponsors. For example, the winner of their November 2017 startup pitch competition got a free workspace at Future Labs for one month, AWS credits, legal services, and $3,000 sponsorship as part of their IBM Watson AI XPrize Wildcard Registration.
