COMEDYPITCHING

Pitch Please !

Maximum Effort. Zero Purpose. A technical comedy showcase for over-engineered solutions to non-existent problems.

infoAbout the Event

Have you ever spent five hours coding something completely pointless? At Pitch Please !, that's exactly what we want. Pitch your most absurd, over-engineered software or hardware to our panel of 'Sharks' and fight for a valuation in Shark Bucks.

The Catch: The code must be brilliant, but the product must be useless. The 'Dogging' Phase: In Round 2, you'll have to defend your product's pointlessness while attacking the 'potential usefulness' of your rivals.

    Pitch Please: The Cursed Startup

    Welcome to the Shark Tank of the absurd. Your mission is to take a 'cursed', useless, or fundamentally broken tech idea and pitch it to our judges as if it were a trillion-dollar revolution.

    The Art of the 'Sell'

    It’s not about what you’re selling; it’s about how you sell it. Use fake data, fabricated testimonials, and 'disruptive' buzzwords to convince the room that your product is indispensable. The more serious you are about your stupid idea, the higher you score.

    Minimum Viable Chaos (Prep)

    Don't stress over a prototype. You only need 3 to 5 slides of 'market research' and a mock-up of your product. Whether it's a hand-drawn sketch or a quick UI design, make sure it looks just professional enough to be hilarious.

    The Interrogation (The Roast)

    After your 3-minute pitch, prepare for the 'Roast Minute'. Our judges will hit you with brutal, logical questions about your illogical product. Your ability to defend your 'cursed' creation with a straight face is where the real champions are made.
