Not Your Average Pitch Competition By Platform Seven

At Platform Seven, we’ve created a night where you don’t just pitch a business…👉 you can pitch yourself.

Because in the real world, the ability to sell you is just as powerful as any idea.

🧠 What They Don’t Teach You About Business

A fast-paced, no fluff breakdown of what actually matters when building something beyond theory, hype, and textbooks.

🎤 The Pitch Competition (with a twist)

Pitch your business or pitch yourself.

This isn’t about polished presentations.It’s about clarity, confidence, and making people believe in what you’re building or who you are.

⚡ Live Mentoring & Real Feedback

Get honest, direct feedback in the room so you leave sharper than you came in.

🤝 Real Networking (Not the awkward kind)

A room full of ambitious people building, exploring, and figuring things out. Just like you.

💰 The Prize

The winning pitch will receive a $250 cash prize—but more importantly, visibility, momentum, and real feedback.
