Crowdfunded Pitch Night | 2026

Save the date. 🎤 Crowdfunded Pitch Night returns to the Tom Tom Festival for an evening powered by ideas, community, and collective support.

Ten local entrepreneurs take the stage for a three-minute pitch, sharing their vision with a live audience ready to rally behind the projects that inspire them most. Audience members can pledge support and purchase votes, helping entrepreneurs raise real funding for their startups and community-driven ideas.

Every dollar intended for a project goes directly to that startup. In addition to community funding, the Community Investment Collaborative will award a grand prize selected by a panel of judges, with additional prizes and support services possible.

Applications open soon. RSVP to receive updates.
