Sign Up To Pitch

Please read the instructions carefully below:

1. Submit the Pitch Request Form. Spots are limited, so submit early — even if your presentation isn’t ready yet! Requesting to pitch does not guarantee a spot until you are officially confirmed.
   • Events where all pitch spots are full will be marked as (WAITLIST). You can still sign up to join the waitlist, and we'll notify you if a spot opens up.
   • After submitting the form, you’ll automatically receive an email with next steps. If you don’t see it, please check your junk or spam folder — or contact us.
2. Confirm and Pay for your Spot. After submitting your form, lock in your spot by sending $5.00 Venmo payment to @pitchafriend-gvl. This small fee shows you’re committed to presenting. You’ll get an email once your spot is confirmed.
   • 📌 Include your name and the event date in the transaction details if possible.
   • 📌 Waitlisted? Do not send payment yet — we'll notify you if a spot opens.
   • 📌 Cancellation Policy: Please email us at least 4 days prior to the event to be eligible for a refund.
3. Create and Share Your Pitch. Email or share your presentation with gvl@pitch-a-friend.com anytime up to 24 hours before the event. You’ll receive email reminders leading up to your presentation. If we do not receive your presentation on time, your spot may be given to someone else.
   • 📁 Preferred Formats: Google Slides or Canva! Please send the share link. If sending a PowerPoint, we may need to convert it to Google Slides and some transitions and fonts may be lost.
