Whether you’re an entrepreneur with a new venture, a student testing out a side hustle or just someone curious about what’s being built in Arizona, you belong here.
At each Pitch In, two community members share their ideas and stories. Then the conversation opens up: the audience leans in with questions, feedback and resources. It’s casual, interactive and fueled by coffee.
How it works
No perfection required, just honest ideas and genuine support.
- Interactive & hybrid: Join us in Chandler, SkySong, Mesa or Downtown Phoenix’s Fusion on First—or log in virtually from anywhere. Every location is connected, so you’ll see the speaker and engage with both local and online community members.
- For founders: If you have an idea, you have a place at Pitch In. All industries, all stages, all backgrounds.
- For community members: Your role is simple but powerful—listen, ask thoughtful questions, share connections and cheer people on.
- Jump in whenever you’re ready: Pitch In happens regularly across the Valley, always with a hot cup of coffee and a warm welcome.
