You have been running the idea past AI. AI has never once told you it would not work. Tonight you get a room that will.
Five founders, five minutes each, in Miami. You take a table on a topic the room voted for, the stage is short enough to be honest, and the floor stays open for an hour after it.
Five founders on stage: five minutes to pitch, then questions from the people at the event. A table on a topic chosen by a vote before the evening, and the hour after the stage, which is the one people remember.
Anyone building something, from the first line of code to Series A, and the people who run a function at a company that is scaling, write the code, build the team, or are still deciding whether to start.
Why it is worth itWatching somebody explain their company in five minutes teaches you more about explaining yours than another evening alone with the deck.
Times in America/New_York
Name sticker on, then the table closest to what you are building. You stay for the hour.
Five minutes to pitch, then questions from the people at the event — about eight minutes in all.
The stage is done and the floor stays open.
Frequently asked
No. Around half the room works at a company rather than running one. Operators, engineers, hiring leads and people who are still deciding all come. You need curiosity, not a cap table.
Apply at ascentvalley.com/pitch. We choose five founders per evening and reply to everyone. Applying is free, but you need a ticket, because the form asks for your order number.
Informationally. Founders opt in and can opt out. We take no equity and no fee on your round.
Doors open at 6:45pm. If you want the themed tables, be there by 7:20pm, because seats are taken by then. The stage starts at 8:50pm.
No. There is no judging panel, no prize and no ranking. Five founders present, the room asks questions, and that is the whole mechanic.
That is the normal case. The themed tables exist so that nobody has to walk up to a stranger cold. You are assigned a topic, not a group of people you are supposed to already know.
The evening, and a link to our app: your profile, who else is coming, a group chat for that Tuesday, a recap of who you met, and your city's space afterwards. ascentvalley.com/community
