Tech Brews Roast (Season 5)

Welcome to Tech Brews Roast (Season 5)! It is our end-of-summer Tech Roast and a post-SWITCH networking event bringing together startups, founders, investors, industry professionals, and the wider tech community.

Our Tech Roast is a casual startup pitch and feedback session, similar to a Demo Day / Pitch Day, where selected startups pitch to a panel of investors and industry experts, followed by community feedback and networking.

Join us for an afternoon of startup pitches, candid expert feedback, and community insights. Selected startups will take the stage to pitch their ideas, with our hosts and community members offering constructive feedback, questions, and perspectives to help sharpen their ventures.

We'll wrap up the session with networking over good conversations and great company.

🚀 Interested in pitching? Applications are open and free to join. Put your startup in the spotlight and get valuable feedback from the Tech Brews community.
