Pizza + Pitches Night | Jersey's Startups Take the Mic

The Elevator Pitch

As part of our Start & Scale programme we will be running a Pizza + Pitches night which flips the usual entrepreneur evening on its head, instead of watching a founder talk, Jersey’s startup community gets the stage.

Bring your pitch, sharpen it live with peers, and put it in front of a panel who’ll tell you exactly what’s landing and what’s missing. Best pitch on the night walks away with £1,000 toward their business.

How the Night Works

🍕 5:30pm – Arrive, Eat, Network

• Doors open with pizza and drinks. Grab a slice, meet the room, founders, local tech talent, and the people backing Jersey’s digital economy.

🎤 5:45pm – Pitches Take the Floor

• Startups take the floor for short, sharp pitches, problem, solution, why it matters. With the panel giving real, constructive feedback live in the room as they go.

🏆 7:00pm – The £1,000 Pitch Announced

• One founder leaves with £1,000 to put straight back into their business.

🤝 7:15pm – Network On

• Bar stays open, pizza keeps coming. Best deals, hires and collaborations tend to happen after the mic’s been put down.

🛑 8:00pm – Event Close
