Investors won’t tell you why your idea won’t work until it’s too late. This is your chance to get UNFILTERED feedback and improve your idea.
About this Event

💡 Have a startup or new AI business idea?

Most people wont tell you the truth. This is your chance to get honest, valuable feedback that can save you hundreds of thousands of dollars and wasted effort. Stop wasting time and money on something that might not work. This is your chance to get real, unfiltered feedback in a fun, fast-paced environment designed to make your idea stronger—or give you the clarity to pivot.

We’ll challenge your assumptions, test your ideas, and provide brutally honest feedback, all in the name of saving you time, money, and resources.

You will receive feedback from a seasoned tech advisor and investor (whose tech venture studio has generated over $2 billion in value). As a pitcher, you’ll walk away with insights worth at LEAST $10,000 to improve your idea or your pitch.


👥 We are buiding a real community!

We are an AI Venture Studio sponsored by To Be Human (Inc.), a social portal dedicated to bridging humans to innovation and intelligence while helping them unlock and maximize their full potential. At TBH, our mission is designed to connect bold thinkers, foster transformative relationships, and ignite smarter, more innovative approaches to success. Be prepared to be greeted by our super fun host and invited for a mini interview.(optional)

Backed by billion-dollar tech expertise and visionary leadership, To be Human is more than a community—it’s a movement to help humans think bigger, connect deeper, and achieve greater.
