As part of Startup Boston, we're offering early-stage founders an opportunity to get feedback from real investors, with a small audience of attendees also looking to learn from them and you.


Your company will have 3 minutes to pitch your startup, and will get about 12 minutes of feedback and questions from our investors. Despite the audience, this will be a casual setting and an opportunity to have an open conversation, asking questions about investor concerns, how to best present what you have, and what you should improve on before you're actively seeking investors.


Pitching is limited to founders who have an active startup and are close to pursuing funding—you must be beyond idea-stage, with traction or promising early customer validation. Sign up as an audience member or participant through Eventbrite and, if you want to pitch, please complete the application form.


This event is part of the Founding Startups track at Startup Boston 2018.
