Request to Pitch

Please read the instructions carefully below:

1. Submit the Pitch Request Form. Complete the sign up form to request a pitch slot for an upcoming event. Spots are limited, so submit your request early—even if your presentation isn’t ready yet! Events that are fully booked will be labeled (WAITLIST). If your desired event is full, you can join the waitlist, and we’ll notify you if a spot opens up.
2. Confirm Your Spot. After submitting your form, secure your spot by sending a $5.00 Venmo payment to @pitchafriend757. This small fee demonstrates your commitment to present. You will get an email confirmation once your spot is confirmed.
   📌 Important:
   • Include your name and the event date in the Venmo transaction details.
   • Waitlisted participants do not need to send a Venmo until we notify you that a spot is available.
   • Cancellation Policy: Please email us at least 4 days prior to the event to be eligible for a refund.
3. Prepare and Share Your Pitch Deck. Email or share your presentation with hamptonroads@pitch-a-friend.com anytime up to 24 hours before the event. You’ll receive email reminders leading up to your presentation.
   📁 Preferred Formats:
   • Google Slides or Canva: Share a direct link.
   • PowerPoint files: We will convert them to Google Slides for easy access.
