About this event
£1,000 up for grabs. Real feedback from real investors. Pizza on us.
The Elevator Pitch
As part of our Start & Scale programme we will be running a Pizza + Pitches night which flips the usual entrepreneur evening on its head, instead of watching a founder talk, Jersey's startup community gets the stage.
Bring your pitch, sharpen it live with peers, and put it in front of a panel who'll tell you exactly what's landing and what's missing. Best pitch on the night walks away with £1,000 toward their business.
How the Night Works
🍕 5:15 pm - Arrive, Eat, Network
Doors open with pizza and drinks. Grab a slice, meet the room, founders, local tech talent, and the people backing Jersey's digital economy.
🎤 5:30pm - Pitches Take the Floor
Startups take the floor for short, sharp pitches, problem, solution, why it matters. With the panel giving real, constructive feedback live in the room as they go.
🏆 7:00 pm - The £1,000 Pitch Announced
One founder leaves with £1,000 to put straight back into their business.
🤝 7:15 pm - Network On
Bar stays open, pizza keeps coming. Best deals, hires and collaborations tend to happen after the mic's been put down.
🛑 8:00 pm - Event Close
