New Founders Circle: Pitch Before You Pitch

Your pitch shouldn’t meet investors for the first time.

New Founders Circle is a high-feedback founder lab designed to help early-stage startups pressure-test their pitch, demo, and positioning before taking them to investors, customers, accelerators, or the broader market.

This is a peer-driven session where selected founders present their startup to a room of fellow founders and receive live, structured feedback on what landed, what was unclear, and what could be stronger. Mentors with expertise across marketing, legal, growth, business development, partnerships, and funding will also be available for targeted guidance.

Unlike a pitch competition, there are no judges, winners, or prizes. The goal is improvement, not performance.

🎯 What founders will get

  • Actionable feedback on their pitch, demo, and positioning

  • A clearer understanding of what resonates and what needs work

  • Expert guidance from experienced mentors

  • The opportunity to learn by reviewing other founders

  • Meaningful connections with founders facing similar challenges

💡 Investor pitch events are where founders perform. New Founders Circle is where they prepare.
