Pitch Stream is an annual event, held in the Eugene area since 2014. Local founders have 5 minutes to pitch their startup to a panel of judges and a room full of peers. The top three winners take home prize money.
Pitch presenters are accepted from each year’s pool of applicants. Participating teams are eligible to receive several weeks of mentoring to help develop a competitive pitch.
The final event is open to the public to attend and is a great way to learn about emerging local startups and meet mentors, supporters, and friends of the community.
