How It Works
  • Tickets: Buy your tickets prior to the event to reserve your pitch spot before all spots are filled.
  • Event Night: Arrive 15 minutes early to check in.
  • Presentations: Present your friend to a room full of singles or sit back, sip your drink, and enjoy the presentations.
  • After each presentation: There will be a Q&A session, and presenters will share their friends contact info (e.g., Instagram handle) on the last slide so audience members can slide into their DMs
  • Mingle & Match: After the pitches, you can also mingle and make connections with anyone who caught your eye!
