Groove pitch series
Join this fall pitch event. We heard from angels that they want more opportunities to look at local deals together. So let's do it!
We’ll hear pitches from local startups from a variety of industries, showcasing a great cross-section of Minnesota's ecosystem. The pitches will be short and quippy, with plenty of time to network with other early-stage investors and directly meet the founders. But this isn't a pageant, showcase, or competition (no participation ribbons here!)...these are real opportunities.
Please note: This event is not accepting founders seeking to pitch.
Who is this Event for?
- Early stage investors regardless if you are a solo angel, part of a network, or in a fund (you don't need to be part of Groove to attend)
- Founder curious to invest in other startups
- Individual interested in starting their investment journey
- Community partners working with early stage investors
