Startup pitch nights &
tech networking in Brisbane.
Founders pitching, investors listening, operators connecting — a curated room, hosted by someone who knows the Brisbane scene. Some nights are ticketed, some are free. Anyone can attend.
Founders pitch, the room does the rest.
We've hosted 5 nights in Brisbane so far, and they all run the same honest way: founders pitch on stage, then it's open networking until the venue winds down. The Brisbane series has been running since August 2025, usually a Friday night, recent rooms include Bar Pacino, Mr. Mista and Naldham House. Nothing's on the calendar right now — but when the next night drops, tickets go up on Luma and Eventbrite. Attend once and the Slack invite follows.
The startup pitch night in Brisbane
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 Brisbane tech and business scene, all in one room. Come with one sentence about what you're building or looking for.

How do I pitch my startup at a Brisbane event?
Get the "Pitch at the event" ticket for an upcoming Brisbane 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.

Recent Brisbane nights ran at Bar Pacino, Mr. Mista and Naldham House — 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.
