Do you have an idea for a startup? Could you use blunt, honest feedback on your ideas from experienced entrepreneurs? Then join us for the Founder Hotseat event, from the Founder Institute. During this event, members of the audience will pitch their ideas to a panel of experts, who will then rate each pitch on a score of 1-5 (no 3’s allowed!), and provide helpful feedback. Even if you don’t want to pitch, you are invited to register, hear startup ideas, and watch how the experts analyze and critique new businesses.

Who should Attend?

• Anyone who wants feedback from leading entrepreneurs
• Anyone who has an idea for a startup or an early-stage company
• Anyone who needs practice and expert advice on pitching
