About this Event
Founders pitch. Drag queens roast. Investors critique. Everyone laughs, learns, and grows.
The Format: Five-minute startup pitches followed by panel feedback that ranges from razor-sharp business insights to perfectly-timed comedic roasts, plus real-time pitch coaching for founders and audience alike.
The Scene: The Detour arcade bar (where downtown meets The Castro) with craft cocktails, elevated bar food, giant screens, and arcade games for post-pitch networking.
The Crowd: LGBTQ+, TGNC+, and allied founders, investors, and operators who know the best businesses come from authentic perspectives.
The Vibe: Learn, laugh, connect—then stick around for Super Smash Bros on the big screen or spill into the Castro to keep the night going.
Produced by StartOut, the national organization connecting LGBTQ+ entrepreneurs with resources, community, and capital.
