Pitch Your Miami Startup to TechCrunch

TechCrunch to Host Virtual Event in Miami Focusing on Startup Ecosystem

TechCrunch is extending its reach to Miami, albeit in a virtual format. A focused online event is scheduled for March 11th, bringing together venture capitalists, founders, and individuals interested in the expanding local tech scene.

A key component of the event will be a pitch competition. Startups originating from Florida will have the opportunity to present their business concepts to a panel of Florida-based VCs within a concise, three-minute timeframe.

Event Accessibility and Expansion Plans

Attendance at this event is open to all. However, the pitch opportunity is specifically targeted towards startups headquartered in the Miami area. TechCrunch has a well-established tradition of hosting pitch-offs and is pleased to continue this practice, adapting to a virtual environment.

This Miami event is part of a broader initiative. Similar events are being planned for other regions, with Detroit/Ann Arbor and Pittsburgh identified as upcoming locations.

Pitch-Off Qualifications

Specific criteria apply for startups wishing to participate in the pitch-off. These include:

• Companies must be in the early-stage of development (Series A funding or earlier).
• Priority will be given to startups geographically located within the Miami region.
• Preparation of a pitch deck is strongly encouraged.
• Interested startups can apply for the pitch-off through this link.

Participation in the event is free of charge, but registration is required due to limited capacity. Early registration is advised to secure a spot.

We anticipate a valuable and engaging event for all attendees.
