StartupBrite Online Pitching Event

---------------------------

Since the beginning of 2022, our investors made multiple offers to invest in the pitching startups at our events!

---------------------------

What is this Pitching Event?

Join us for an online event where you can pitch your startup to our panel of investors.

We are creating an opportunity for startup founders to meet active investors who are interested in and looking for funds for startup companies.

To be selected to pitch:

1) Register here on Eventbrite to pitch by getting a ticket;

2) We will review your pitch deck. You must submit your pitch deck before 5:30 PM PST two days or earlier before the event. No pitch decks will be accepted after that deadline;

3) In addition to your pitch deck, we need to receive a description of your startup. Please make it detailed - two or more paragraphs with details describing your service/product, target audience, etc.

Send your pitch decks and startup details to: contact@startupbrite.com

NOTE that if we don't receive your pitch deck or your startup description on time, you will not be considered to pitch.

Our investors actively look for startups that are at different stages - from very early (idea) level startups to companies that have already managed to generate revenue and are looking to expand and get to the next level.

This is a completely virtual event. Our goal is to have different investors on our panels, to increase the exposure of the startups we present.

This is not a competition. We would not offer prizes or any other gimmicks.

This event is strictly down to business, pitching to investors and looking for funds for your startup.

The Pitching Process

We offer two types of tickets to pitching startups:

Free pitching ticket - founders with this kind of ticket will have two minutes to pitch to the panel of investors. No pitch deck will be presented while pitching.
Paid pitching ticket - founders with this type of ticket:

Have five minutes to pitch while presenting their pitch deck.
After the presentation, the founders will have another five minutes to talk to the investors on the panel.
Once all presentations are finished, we open breakout rooms for each founder, where investors go in for one-on-one conversations with the founders. We keep the rooms open for about 15+ minutes.

Show up prepared and broadcast your enthusiasm!

TIP: When you present your startup, make sure you cover the problem, your solution, who you are and who are your expected customers, how big of a market you are addressing, how much investment you seek, and what you offer for the investment. Most importantly, explain to the investors how they will benefit by investing in your startup.

Connecting With the Investors

StartupBrite will provide to the pitching founders all requested contact information between startups and investors, to ensure the conversations continue after the event. We are here to introduce and provide the opportunity for startups to find the right investors.

Sponsorship Opportunities

If you want to become a sponsor for our event, please contact us at nick@startupbrite.com.

We offer 2 levels of sponsorship tickets - for startups and general sponsors.

If you are a startup interested in a sponsorship-level ticket, you will have more time to talk to the investors and more direct access to them, which StartupBrite will help facilitate.

If you are interested in sponsoring the event, as a sponsor you will be able to present your company and services you could offer to startups before and during the event.

About StartupBrite

Startup founders need to tell their BIG IDEA to the world as often as possible.

We sit together with founders for a 30-45-minute interview and allow them to share their BIG IDEA, introduce their team, explain how it all works and why they are the next BIG THING!

Next, we publish the interview on YouTube and promote it on social media channels to help investors find your company. Other founders may learn from you and even approach you for a strategic partnership.

Most importantly, we build your startup online profile on StartupBrite and then contact our private network of investors and pitch your company. Our network includes individual investors and VC funds.
