You pitch your startup. The investor nods. Says "interesting." Then nothing. That is how most pitch events end. A handshake. A maybe. A silence that stretches until you stop checking your email. GGW Sharks is not that. Apply here to pitch: forms.gle/Gv3nQ8J3T6JNXxMn7 The format is two minutes. No slides. You stand in front of five investors and explain what you are building. If the panel wants to continue the conversation, we make the intro happen. Not a forwarded email. Not "let me check." A direct warm introduction. The judge panel: • Bryce Gilleland, California Innovation Fund • Dan Ellis, Sher Ventures • Ketie Weiss, ff Venture Capital • Alex Zhuravlev, Mento VC • David Mandel, Emerging Ventures Capital Not pitching? Come watch, network, and see how investors really evaluate deals. RSVP here luma.com/3a0z8lai

This isn’t another webinar about pitch decks. Apply here to pitch: forms.gle/wYZpR9fmobn7W6SE9 You’ll have 3 minutes to present your startup, followed by 5 minutes with experienced venture and startup experts who will challenge the story, assumptions, market, traction and GTM behind it.

Leave knowing how to make your company easier to understand, your opportunity more convincing, and your next fundraising conversation stronger. And there’s another opportunity. 🏆 The strongest pitch gets a priority slot at GGW Sharks, where the founder will pitch live in front of five investors. We’re now selecting founders for the September 8 session. RSVP here: app.goglobal.world/event/78
