Hey NYC! Ever felt the thrill of watching “Shark Tank” and wished you could be part of the action? Well, guess what? Now you can! The Heat Wave Edition of The Pitch Show is coming to town, and it’s happening right in our backyard. This event promises to be one of the most exciting happenings this summer, and you definitely don’t want to miss it.
Mark your calendars for Tuesday, May 28, 2024, from 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM, and head over to Sour Mouse in the heart of New York City. If you’re wondering what makes this event so special, let me break it down for you.
A Fresh Take on Pitching
The Pitch Show isn’t your typical pitch event. Unlike shows like “Shark Tank,” where a few wealthy investors decide the fate of entrepreneurs, The Pitch Show empowers the audience to make the big decisions. That means you get to vote on which innovative ideas get funded. It’s a unique experience where the community gets involved, asks tough questions, and supports local talent.
Alan Siege, the mastermind behind The Pitch Show, puts it perfectly: “At these events, we’re passionate about bringing the decision-making power back to the people—it’s the heart and soul of what we do. Every attendee doesn’t just watch; they engage actively. They ask each contestant tough questions, consider their answers, and then cast the deciding votes.”
Why You Should Attend
- Be Part of the Action: This isn’t a passive event where you sit back and watch. You’ll be actively participating, engaging with the entrepreneurs, and deciding which ideas deserve to take off. Your vote matters!
- Support Local Entrepreneurs: All the contestants and audience members are from the community. This means you’ll be supporting local talent and ideas that aim to make a positive impact right here in NYC.
- Network and Learn: Whether you’re an aspiring entrepreneur, a student, or just someone interested in innovative ideas, this is a great opportunity to network with like-minded people, learn from real pitches, and get inspired.
- Amazing Venue: Sour Mouse is a historic and iconic venue that adds a touch of elegance and history to the event. It’s a beautiful setting to witness the birth of new ideas and ventures.
