About this Event
A Different Kind of Small Business Pitch Event
TC SOUP is a brand new, grassroots small business pitch event which celebrates community support and abundance over scarcity.
Our event is modeled after the very successful Detroit SOUPs. It’s a public dinner, it’s a platform for connection, a democratic experiment in micro-funding, an opportunity to support entrepreneurs and changemakers in Traverse City.
The Format
You will be greeted by live music as you enter The Alluvion and find your way to a communal table. Then, four very early-stage small businesses will present for four minutes apiece, each also taking four minutes to answer audience questions.
W e will then break for a delicious meal prepared by a local emerging chef as the music continues. Over dinner, you will discuss with your table-mates the merits of the four presentations. Everyone will cast their vote, and the winner will be announced, receiving seed funding to support their venture and vision!
This is an intimate event, with only 50 seats available.
