Event Details

Tech Founders NYC

We are a group of technical founders and programmers interested in joining startups that invite early-stage tech entrepreneurs to pitch to the toughest audience around — computer programmers.

We choose entrepreneurs who are looking for an early-stage technical partner and whose ideas sound interesting to us, and we let them try to convince a room full of programmers to take a chance on their company.

The Rules

  • We bring 3-5 entrepreneurs to give a 5 minute pitch about their venture.
  • Five minutes of Q&A follow the pitch where only programmers can ask questions.
  • At the end of the evening, programmers vote on who gave the best presentation.
  • Non-programmers are welcome to attend, but we ask them not to ask questions or vote.
  • If you are interested in pitching you should definitely attend an event as an observer.

The Goals

  • Help non-technical founders learn how technical people respond to their ideas and pitch.
  • Help technical founders evaluate great opportunities to join startups
  • Get together to help build startups in NYC.

Entrepreneurs! Please fill out our Application Form if you are looking for a cofounder or technical lead and want to pitch our group.
