Announcing The TechCrunch Washington DC And NYC Meetups + Pitch-Offs

Get ready, DC and NYC. TechCrunch is coming your way in March. Apply for the pitch-off and get your tickets below.

Hot off the heels of the fantastic Atlanta and New Orleans meetups, we’re pleased to announce our next round of meetups. Leena, Jordan, Sarah and myself are hitting Washington DC on March 18th and New York City on March 20th.

Tickets are just $5 and grant the holder to a night of pitches, drinking and meeting your local tech scene (21 and older only, please).

These events are part networking and part pitch-off. About an hour or so after we open the door, 15 of each city’s best undiscovered startups will have 60 seconds to pitch their company, startup or idea. Apply here for DC and here for NYC.

We will have 3-5 judges, including TechCrunch editors and local VCs, who will decide on the winners of the pitch-off. First place will receive a table in Startup Alley at the upcoming TechCrunch Disrupt. Second Place will receive two tickets to the upcoming TechCrunch Disrupt. Third Place will receive one ticket to the upcoming TechCrunch Disrupt.

As always, if you want to sponsor contact our team at sponsors@beta.techcrunch.com. There are a lot of opportunities for startups big and small.

See you next month!
