Startup Pitch & Networking in Austin
Wednesday, March 18, 2026, 1900 - 2200
A focused pitch night with live startup pitches, direct investor feedback, and time to meet relevant founders and peers.
Startup Valley — Austin
A curated pitch night for startup founders, operators, angels and VC partners.
We design these sessions to help founders sharpen their thinking through direct, candid feedback — and to give strong investors access to serious teams.
What happens:
• 4-8 startups pitch live and receive feedback from angels and VC partners
• Feedback focuses on real decisions and next steps — not surface-level opinions
• Investors stay in the room before and after pitches
• The format leaves space for real conversations, not rushed networking
• Attendance is limited to keep the room focused
Designed for clear thinking, not noise.
Who you’ll meet:
Startup founders
Angel investors and VC partners
Operators in marketing, sales, and tech
AI engineers
Local and international founders
AI Experts
Founders from Europe, Asia, and the United Kingdom
Practical details
For investors:
We invite angel investors and VC partners to participate as judges and contributors.
Join the discussion, meet other investors, and see what teams are building early.
Founders rely on your experienced perspective.
