Flash Pitch is an event series that brings together a diverse group of entrepreneurs, investors, and the startup community to watch founders pitch their ventures. After a brief hiatus, Flash Pitch is back! Each company is given 3 minutes to pitch, followed by 5 minutes of Q&A and feedback with the investors. We have seen that this method keeps founders effective and investors engaged. The network builds on top of the event series to plug attendees and participants into a network of NYC's top entrepreneurs and investors.

Our core values are based on 3 Ps:

  • Promoting Diversity

  • Providing Opportunity

  • Propelling Companies

Since Flash Pitch’s inception, we have had:

  • 750+ applications to Flash Pitch

  • 125 startups selected to pitch

  • 50 top tier investors

  • 20 companies featured in major publications including the NY Times, Forbes, TechCrunch, Inc and lnStyle

  • 20% of companies who pitch go on to be accepted into accelerators (Al Nexus Lab, Y-Combinator, Techstars) and/or raise venture
