Welcome Back: TCNewTech: Bar Napkin Pitch Night! 

By 20Fathoms

Long-time TCNewTech fans are cheering the return of Bar Napkin Pitch Night, which makes its return on February 11 at Workshop Brewing Company.

For those new to the format (and anyone wanting a refresher!), Delaney Keating, Director of Entrepreneurship and Commercialization at 20Fathoms, shares more about the event.

What is TCNewTech: Bar Napkin Pitch Night?

TCNewTech: Bar Napkin Pitch Night is a social event where entrepreneurs can share their ideas – even if they just had one yesterday. Like an Open Mic, it’s a chance to enjoy, share, and network around the creative side of entrepreneurs.

Why bring back TCNewTech: Bar Napkin Pitch Night now?

In our early-stage startup ecosystem, a bar napkin pitch event celebrates ideas either before or as they are launching into startup-dom. This event helps rally energy, feedback, and networking opportunities to build community around ideas.

Who should consider pitching an idea?

Anyone and everyone! Ages 18+ please.

What happens next?

If you come pitch and like testing the waters of an audience, then you might find yourself interested in the other startup programs and meetups available around Traverse City.

We have a bootcamp coming up at 20Fathoms alongside regular Breakfast Lab programming for entrepreneurs. Grove Community Incubator and the Office of Possibilities (OoPs) are other great local resources!

How do I sign up to pitch or register to attend?

Ready to pitch? Excited to come and cheer? RSVP today.
