Startup pitch nights &
tech networking in Boston.
Founders pitching, investors listening, operators connecting — a curated room, hosted by someone who knows the Boston scene. Some nights are ticketed, some are free. Anyone can attend.
WED 09 SEP — be in the room.
Founders pitch, the room does the rest.
We've hosted 37 nights in Boston, and the shape of them hasn't changed: founders pitch on stage, then the floor opens and the room does the rest. The Boston series has been running since October 2024, usually a Wednesday night, recent rooms include Back Bay - Jaho Coffee Roaster & Wine Bar and Bar Moxy. The next one is at Back Bay - Jaho Coffee Roaster & Wine Bar on 9 September 2026 — tickets are on Luma and Eventbrite. Come once and the Slack invite follows.
The startup pitch night in Boston
Founders take the stage for short, honest pitches — a few minutes each, then direct Q&A from the investors and operators in the room. It's a working session, not a demo-day performance: the point is candid feedback and the conversations that start the moment the mic goes down. Want to pitch? Here's how it works →
Tech networking, before and after
The pitches are the spine of the evening; the networking is the rest of the body. Registration opens with drinks and introductions, and after the pitch session the floor stays open — founders, investors, VCs, engineers and operators from the Boston tech and business scene, all in one room. Come with one sentence about what you're building or looking for.

Boston, asked & answered.
Is there a startup pitch night in Boston?
Yes — Startup Valley runs recurring startup pitch nights in Boston. The next one is on WED 9 September 2026 at Back Bay - Jaho Coffee Roaster & Wine Bar. Every night combines live startup pitches with open tech networking in one evening.
What startup events does Startup Valley run in Boston?
One recurring series of startup events in Boston: evening pitch nights where founders pitch live with investor Q&A, wrapped in open networking — part tech mixer, part demo night. The next Boston event is on WED 9 September 2026.
Is this a business networking event or a startup pitch night?
Both, deliberately: the live pitches give the business networking a spine. Founders, investors and operators come for the Boston pitch session and stay for the open networking — so conversations start from something real instead of small talk.
How do I pitch my startup at a Boston event?
Get the "Pitch at the event" ticket for an upcoming Boston night and tell us about your startup through the pitch application form. Pitch slots are limited to keep the session focused, so earlier is better.
Who attends Startup Valley events in Boston?
Founders and startup teams, investors (VCs and angels), engineers, and operators from the Boston tech scene. Investors join by approval, so pitching founders always have the right people in the room.
Where in Boston do the events happen?
Recent Boston nights ran at Back Bay - Jaho Coffee Roaster & Wine Bar and Bar Moxy — bars, coworking spaces and event venues chosen for a room you can actually talk in. The exact venue and address are on each event's page and ticket link.
How much do tickets cost?
Early-bird tickets are the cheapest and go first; standard admission follows, and prices step up as the night approaches. Pitching startups purchase a dedicated pitch ticket. Exact prices are on each event page.
What is the format of the night?
Registration and networking first, then a host welcome, a focused startup pitch session with investor Q&A, and open networking until the venue winds down — about three hours end to end.
Don't miss the next one.
Every Boston night is announced to the community first — and the biweekly drop carries the best of what pitched.
