HeldKerala First Edition
Kerala, India
The first edition, run with an ecosystem partner and a room of founders, investors and operators from across the state.
Pitch Fest,where the network meets IRL.
Nine minutes on stage, a room of investors who came to listen, and a follow-up that does not stop when the lights do. Pitch Fest is the part of Pitch Studio you can walk into today.
The night, end to end.
Every edition runs the same shape, so founders know exactly what they are preparing for and investors know exactly what they are getting.
- Before
The room is briefed
Investors receive the companies, sectors and stages ahead of the evening, so nobody spends the first two minutes explaining the market.
- 09 min
The pitch
One founder, one stage, nine minutes. No panel introductions, no sponsor reels in the middle of a company's slot.
- 05 min
The questions
From investors who read the material. This is usually where the evening is actually decided.
- After
The floor
Coffee, follow-ups and the conversations that turn into meetings. The part everybody remembers.
- Later
The record
The company keeps a live profile, the interest is tracked, and the introductions carry on afterwards.
