About this event

Welcome to Startup Oasis!

If you are a startup founder or anyone else in the tech ecosystem looking to start, join, or help a tech startup, this event is for you!

Startup founders pitch their business or concept to the audience like on Shark Tank. Then, each founder gets a breakout room for more collaboration and discussions, similar to a hackathon.

This event takes place in our community on Discord - it works best on desktop if it's your first time attending or pitching. Download the app if you are on mobile.

Agenda:

8:00pm – 8:10pm EST - confirm your local time zone - we are global!
Intros: while people trickle in, we introduce ourselves and the structure so you can get the most out of it.

8:10pm - 8:25pm
Pitches: 5-8 startup founders have 3 minutes to pitch their businesses to everyone - they will tell us their biggest business needs or obstacles. The pitches have no Q&A - any questions can be asked in the breakouts.

8:25pm – onward
Breakout Groups: each founder that pitched gets one. You can choose which breakouts to join to have deeper discussions with the founders.

Startup Oasis was created to pierce the illusion of accessibility of startups and tech by creating a grassroots forum for early-stage founders to pitch to those in the tech ecosystem to get real-time feedback for their idea or business.
