Dear Denver,
If you happened to miss the original announcement, I’ve got some good news for you. TechCrunch is headed your way and we’re bringing with us the world-renowned TC Meetup + Pitch-Off. In conjunction with Denver Startup Week, we’ll be holding our event on Thursday, October 1.
So what’s involved with a TC Meetup + Pitch-off?
It’s pretty simple. We select 10 companies from the area to hop on stage and show their stuff. Each startup has exactly sixty seconds to wow the audience, and a panel of expert VC judges, who will then conduct a quick Q&A.
At the end of all the pitches, the judges will determine a winner.
First place receives a table in Startup Alley at TechCrunch Disrupt. Second place will get two tickets to the conference and the Audience Choice winner gets one ticket to the big show.
Afterwards, we mingle. We drink. We talk about the meaning of life.

Netflix, Box, a16z, ElevenLabs, Wayve, Hugging Face, Elad Gil, Vinod Khosla — just some of the 250+ heavy hitters leading 200+ sessions designed to deliver the insights that fuel startup growth and sharpen your edge.
