Take the Mic - Make a Pitch

What can you share?

An idea
Something you thought of five minutes ago or have been thinking about for years. If you can explain it, you can share it.
A work in progress
Something you’re building, trying out, or figuring out. It doesn’t have to be finished to be worth sharing.
A live project
Something already out in the world. Share what it does and where you want to take it next.

What should you say?

  1. What is it? Explain the idea or project.
  2. Why does it matter? Who is it for, or what could it change?
  3. What do you need? Feedback, customers, a cofounder, introductions – or help figuring out your next step.

How does it work?

  • How long do I get? At least 2 minutes and a maximum of 3.
  • How prepared do I need to be? First time, polished or somewhere in-between – all pitch practice is good. Just be ready to explain what you want to share.
  • Do I need slides? No. Slides are optional. If you’d like to use them, email your deck to pitch@openmicpitch.com at least 24 hours before the event.

The environment is casual and friendly. There are no judges, no ranking, and no on-stage Q&A. After all the pitches, stay for questions, feedback, and community.
