About this Event

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

This is neither.

The Pitch Room NYC (Fintech / Finance 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 fintech founders, operators, and builders — bringing together people working across payments, lending, infrastructure, and financial products. This is designed for those building in a space where trust, distribution, and execution matter.

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 founder pitches and curated growth partner intros, followed by open networking.

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

Hosted by Amit Mohan, at Goldie's Tavern in the Midtown Courtyard by Marriott — 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.



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.

  • Startup founders / co-founders
  • Investors (angels, VCs, scouts, family offices)
  • Operators (growth, product, engineering, partnerships, BD)

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.
