A curated AI & Tech Startup room where founders pitch, investors evaluate, and 10+ growth partners pitch how they drive customer acquisition
About this Event

Most networking events are broad. Most pitch events are theater.

The Pitch Room NYC is a different format: a vertical-specific room (Tech Startups) designed to connect founders, investors, and operators around the one constraint that quietly decides outcomes: customer acquisition.

Hosted in a private area of the bar, this is intentionally built to feel social and relaxed—while still producing serious connections.

Hosted by Amit Mohan — operator-first founder and growth architect. Amit has managed millions in paid ads (with receipts) and built a 10,000+ member operator community (The Money Room) where the lessons and frameworks can be reviewed and learned from.



Event Highlights
1-Minute Founder Elevator Pitches (limited slots)

A limited number of founders get 60 seconds to present:

  • what you’re building
  • traction (or what you’ve shipped)
  • what you need (customers, distribution, hires, capital)



10–15 Growth Partner / Agency Pitches (The Growth Lane)

A curated set of growth partners also get 60 seconds to pitch:

  • who they serve (and who they don’t)
  • what they’re best at (Meta, Google, creative, email/SMS, CRO, landing pages, tracking, etc.)
  • the type of founder they want to meet tonight

This creates a rare dynamic: founders meet partners with clear fit, fast.



Open Networking (after pitches)

After the pitches, the room opens into networking. Founders connect with the right growth partners. Investors connect with founders who can communicate clearly and execute. Operators connect with teams that are hiring and shipping.



WhatsApp Group (before + after)

A dedicated WhatsApp group is created to connect before the event and keep the room active afterward.



Who Should Attend (Tech Startups)
  • Startup founders / co-founders
  • Investors (angels, VCs, scouts, family offices)
  • Operators (growth, product, engineering, partnerships, BD)
  • Growth partners (agencies, studios, freelancers—limited)



Why Attend
  • Vertical-specific room = higher relevance, higher conversion on connections
  • Structured pitches = clearer matching (founder ↔ investor ↔ growth partner)
  • Meet people who can move your company forward immediately
  • Build relationships that last beyond one night



Guest Guidelines
  • 21+
  • Please arrive well-presented (smart casual / business casual)
  • Please support the venue: purchase at least one drink (alcohol-free options available)



WhatsApp Group

A dedicated event WhatsApp group will be created to help attendees connect before and after the event. The link will be shared 1 day before the event.

Agenda

🕑: 07:00 PM - 07:30 PM
Welcome, Doors Open & Warm Networking (20–30 min)

Info: Arrive, grab a drink, and get into real conversations early.
This room is built around one truth: most startups don’t lose because they can’t raise — they lose because they can’t acquire customers efficiently.
So the goal in this first block is simple: meet the people who can move your distribution forward.


🕑: 07:30 PM - 08:00 PM
Round 1 Pitches — Founders (30 x 60 seconds) (30 min)

Info: 30 founders. 60 seconds each.
You’ll hear what’s being built, what traction is real, and—most importantly—what each founder needs to unlock growth (customers, partners, hires, distribution, capital).

This is designed to create instant context so networking becomes targeted and useful.


🕑: 08:00 PM - 08:30 PM
Reset + Targeted Networking Break (20-30 min)

Info: This is where the room turns into a marketplace.
If you’re a founder: find the growth partners and investors that fit your stage.
If you’re an investor: find founders with clarity, momentum, and execution ability.
If you’re an operator: find teams that are hiring and shipping.


🕑: 08:30 PM - 09:00 PM
Round 2 Pitches — The Growth Lane (10–15 x 60 seconds) (15-30 min)

Info: 10–15 vetted growth / marketing agencies pitch in a tight format:

who they help (and who they don’t)
what they’re best in the world at (Meta, Google, creative, CRO, retention, tracking, landing pages, etc.)
what kind of founder they want to meet tonight
This is the point of difference: founders don’t just “network”—they leave with a shortlist of real options to acquire customers.


🕑: 09:00 PM - 10:00 PM
Open Networking + Follow-Up Setup (60+ min)

Info: The rest of the night is open networking—fast, social, and deal-focused.

Before you leave, make sure you’re plugged into the event WhatsApp group so connections compound after tonight. The best outcomes come from the second conversation.
