Welcome to Startup Oasis! #RSAC
If you are a startup founder, investor, developer, marketer, or anyone else in the tech ecosystem looking to start, join, or help a tech startup, this event is for you! Entrepreneurs pitch their startups to the attendees; then, you can join a breakout room/area (that we curate) to talk to the founders, join their team, ask questions, and/or give feedback. People have been able to start a business as a result of this process. You are welcome to just watch as well. After the last pitch, the audience with be able to vote on a winner who will become eligible to pitch during the championship round at the end of the year to win the grand prize! If you would like to pitch, RSVP here, and you can sign up on the day of the event. This event is **free** to attend. You can also support us with a VIP ticket to get a reserved spot to pitch or a seat if we reach capacity. We are meeting near Moscone Center. Schedule:
5:30 PM PDT - Doors open early for networking. Music curated by Max DJ. 6:00 PM - Networking continues. Sign up at the check-in table if you want to pitch your startup 6:50 PM - Founders are chosen to pitch 7:00 PM - Startup Oasis Begins, founders pitch 7:30 PM onward - Founders break off into break-out rooms/areas, and attendees can move around and help one for the remainder of the time, similar to a hackathon
Startup Oasis was created to pierce the illusion of accessibility of startups and tech by creating a grassroots forum for early-stage founders to pitch to those in the tech ecosystem to get real-time feedback for their idea or business. Click the link to our website if you would like to:
