Pitch Night

Three minutes. Three investors. One crowd with play money.

Three founders pitch an idea in three minutes each, a panel of three investors grills them, and the audience allocates a pot of play money across the pitches by vote. The investors are talent roles with distinct personas; the host keeps the clock.

Roles

Talent roles are gated by tier; player roles are open to anyone who has verified their email. Any role can be covered by an AI understudy if the producer's fill policy allows it.

  • HostTalent · needs Talent+

    Introduce each founder, start their three minutes, hand to the investors for questions, and run the crowd allocation. Record the crowd's allocation on the board when the note asks.

    Understudy persona: Imani Cole — crisp MC, protects the clock, roots for underdogs

  • FounderPlayer · open×3

    You have three minutes to pitch an idea, real or invented. Problem, solution, who pays, what you'd do with the money. Then take questions without flinching.
