Lift Pitch: Connecting founders and investors on the slopes!

I am thrilled to announce our inaugural Lift Pitch event taking place March 1, 2026 in beautiful Lake Tahoe! Lift Pitch is a pitch-a-thon and networking meetup that brings founders and investors together on the ski slopes for fast, focused conversations during an 8-minute ride on a designated chairlift. It’s designed to be simple, human, and fun—real conversations in a memorable setting. The afternoon on the mountain is followed by an evening banquet with dinner, brief presentations, and time to connect off the slopes. The event also supports the Sky Tavern Adaptive Ski Program, helping make skiing accessible to everyone. Not a skier or snowboarder? No problem! There will also be a stationary chairlift in the lodge and indoor pitches will also be limited to 8 minutes. All founders, investors, and sponsors are encouraged to submit an invitation request form on the website.
