Open Mic Pitching & Networking – Halloween Special
👻 Rare Founders Halloween Open Mic Pitch Night 🎃
​We’re back from the crypt with a spooky twist on our legendary open mic pitching and networking night. This time, it’s fangs, founders, and frightfully good pitches!
​💀 What to expect:
​We’re starting the night off with some horror stories & advice from Anthony Rose from Seedlegals.
​Then every 20–30 minutes, 5–6 brave founders will be summoned at random to pitch their business in just 1 minute. (Advise provided back if they dare!)
​Go over the time limit… and beware 👀 the water guns are locked, loaded, and ready to strike.
​Dress to kill (literally) costumes welcome, but not required. Although there will be a competition for the best costume. The top 3 will receive a guaranteed meeting with one of our investor partners.
​A night of unfiltered networking, wickedly sharp ideas, and startup spirits rising from the shadows.
