NYC Ecom Founders & Growth Partners Pitch + Networking Night

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

This is neither.

The Pitch Room NYC (eCommerce / DTC Edition) is a vertical-specific room designed to connect founders, operators, and growth partners around the constraint that quietly drives outcomes: customer acquisition.

A curated room for e-commerce founders and operators — focused on the one thing that drives outcomes: growth. From DTC brands to marketplaces, this is a space for people actively building and scaling.

Hosted in a private area of the bar, the environment is intentionally social and relaxed — while still structured enough to create high-quality connections.

The format includes optional 1-minute pitches and open networking, designed to connect founders with operators and growth partners who understand acquisition, retention, and conversion. If you’re building or scaling a brand, this is the kind of room you want to be in.

This creates a rare dynamic: founders don’t just meet people — they meet the right people, quickly.

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 () where the lessons and frameworks can be reviewed and learned from.

Where you can also find video tutorials of Amit scaling e-commerce brands to $100,000+ per month live on camera.

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)

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.

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.

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

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

• 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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
