Wildcard Pitch Tank is an early evening forum for founders, investors, operators, and members of the New York business community to hear a select group of emerging companies present live in one of the cityβs most distinguished private settings.
The evening opens with guest arrival and networking at 5:00 PM, followed by opening remarks and introduction of the judging panel. A small panel of investors, founders, and industry leaders will evaluate each company on clarity of vision, market opportunity, execution, and founder conviction. A limited number of founders will be invited to present a concise five minute pitch followed by live questions from the panel.
A small number of attendee wildcard slots will be held for founders who are not on the initial program. Guests who would like to be considered for a live wildcard pitch may apply in advance by submitting their company name, deck, stage, capital raised to date, and a short founder bio before the event. Selected applicants may be invited to present directly to the room if time allows.
