Batter Up Vancouver!

Let's hang! 👋

As a founder, navigating the fundraising process can be incredibly frustrating. It takes considerable time and effort to convince investors to engage with you.

Once you pitch your company, sometimes you don't hear back, and if you do, their rejection often lacks clarity on why they aren't interested.

This can leave entrepreneurs feeling uncertain and dejected, and we believe this is unacceptable. That's why we're hosting a live pitch event for founders on August 25, and it's FREE to attend!

Here's how it'll work:

• RSVP to the event and submit your pitch deck.
• Up to 6 founders will be selected to present, having 2.5 minutes to pitch a panel of investors from Hustle Fund's Angel Squad.
• Investors will ask follow-up questions and provide feedback, simulating a real VC meeting.

By the end of this event, you'll gain a clearer understanding of why investors choose to invest in certain companies (or not). Plus, there's a prize for the winner! 🏆

We'll allocate time at the end of the event for your questions, so come with curiosity! 🤔

Who should come?

• Founders looking for feedback on their pitch will benefit greatly from this experience.
• Founders who just want to learn from others are also welcome to register without submitting a deck — enjoy the show and take away valuable insights.
• Investors eager to meet more founders or learn how to evaluate startups will find this event beneficial too!

🚨 Take Note: This is an in-person event only; no virtual option is available. You must be present to pitch.

Schedule:

• 6:00 PM: Arrive, enjoy pizza, and network. 🍕
• 6:30 - 8:00 PM: Batter Up! — pitches and investor feedback.
• 8:00 - 9:00 PM: Finish pizza and mingle.
