Hey Pitch Insiders,
As you know, we are in a new season and that means new ideas and fresh vision to pursue things we have long wanted to chase after. Going forward, each new season of The Pitch will be held in a different city. We want to highlight the amazing startup communities all over the country. There are founders and investors rocking it in places other than NY and SF, and we are making it our mission to find them and bring them to your ears! This November The Pitch heads to Chicago.
If you know anyone in the Chicago/Illinois/Midwest area raising money send them this post! I’ll drop a blurb below for those friends or funds who may not know about the show.
As always, thanks for listening and reading. Time is valuable, and we appreciate you sharing a bit of yours with us.

Here's a blurb about the show for those who aren't familiar:
Hit business podcast 'The Pitch' is looking for the next breakout startup to feature on the show.
The Pitch 'Puts You Right in the Room as Entrepreneurs Pitch to Real Investors' and has been called 'The Antithesis of Shark Tank' by Adweek and Insider.
Past founders have raised millions on the show from investors Charles Hudson, Jillian Manus, Phil Nadel, Michael Hyatt and Elizabeth Yin.
This is one of those rare media opportunities where a founder can give the full picture of what makes their business unique. Each episode tells the in-depth story of one founder's pitch to investors.
On The Pitch, real entrepreneurs pitch to real investors—for real money. It's a fun, taut listen and the audience gets inside access to conversations that normally happen behind closed doors. Past founders have landed meaningful investments $25-300k in The Pitch room, and millions in follow-on. The podcast boasts a monthly audience in the hundreds of thousands of entrepreneurs, investors, and tech professionals who tune in for each new episode. Start by listening to this playlist(also on Spotify) if you haven't yet heard the show.
Season 9 of The Pitch will be recorded in Chicago, IL on November 2-4, 2022 and will feature twelve promising startups. If you're a founder currently raising Pre-Seed, Seed or Series A then hit that button to apply!
So glad that The Pitch is back!
