TCNewTech: Bar Napkin Pitch Night

TCNewTech: Bar Napkin Pitch Night returns! Join us for this fun pitch event where anyone can take the stage… all you need is an idea!

In general, the projects presented at TCNewTech are already well-developed ideas, products, or services. But what about those maybe-great, this-might-be-crazy-but-I’m-considering-it-anyway ideas? For those, we have Bar Napkin Pitch Night!

No business plan or formal slides are needed. The audience will have a chance to vote by cheering loudly for their favorite idea. Come out and support aspiring entrepreneurs and hear the latest and greatest ideas in Traverse City!

Ready to share your idea… or excited to hear what your friends and neighbors have come up with? Come check it out!

Interested in Pitching? Here’s What to Know:

• 2 minute time limit. No going over!
• There will be a sign-up sheet available beginning at 4:30 pm. First-come, first-served!
• No visuals or slides

After everyone has pitched, there will be time to mingle and connect for one-on-one questions and answers. Why pitch? You could find your next business partners… or get the feedback you need to follow your dream.

20Fathoms plans to take photos and video during this event. By attending the event, you agree to being photographed and filmed, which may be used for marketing purposes.

Event Schedule:

4:30-5:00 pm: Welcome & Networking

5:00-6:00 pm: Presentation and Pitch Rounds

6:00-7:00 pm: Networking

Not able to make it right at 5? Feel free to come when you are able!
