About this Event

Welcome to Startup Oasis! #NYCTechWeek
If you are a startup founder, investor, developer, marketer, or anyone else in the tech ecosystem looking to start, join, or help a tech startup, this event is for you! Entrepreneurs pitch their startups to the attendees; then, you can join a breakout room/area (that we curate) to talk to the founders, join their team, ask questions, and/or give feedback. People have been able to start a business as a result of this process. You are welcome to just watch as well.
After the last pitch, the audience will be able to vote on a winner who will become eligible to pitch during the championship round at the end of the year to win the grand prize!
If you would like to pitch, RSVP here, and you can sign up on the day of the event. This event is **free** to attend. You can also support us with a donation to get a reserved spot to pitch or a seat if we reach capacity.
Schedule:
6:00 PM - Doors open for networking. Go to the check-in table if you want to pitch your startup
6:50 PM - Pitch lineup is finalized
7:00 PM - Startup Oasis begins, founders pitch
7:30 PM onward - Founders break off into break-out groups, and attendees can move around and help one for the remainder of the time, hackathon style

Startup Oasis was created to pierce the illusion of accessibility of startups and tech by creating a grassroots forum for early-stage founders to pitch to those in the tech ecosystem to get real-time feedback for their idea or business.
