​A Legacy of Success with UC Berkeley
In partnership with UC Berkeley, Pitch Global has hosted these events for over seven years, delivering 75+ successful engagements to date. Prior to 2019, all events were held in-person, fostering great success stories like Axbio, PrivateFleet, CargoChief, Telematrak, and many others.

​From 2020 to 2023, the format transitioned entirely online, expanding accessibility to a global audience. Today, one-third of these events are hybrid, offering both online and in-person participation. Each event attracts approximately 20 investors, including CVCs, VCs, Family Offices, and Angels—creating unparalleled networking opportunities.

​Added Value for Entrepreneurs
Our pitch events don’t end with presentations. Attending investors provide impromptu feedback, ensuring you gain actionable insights to refine your approach and enhance your investment potential.
