Instead of a panel of judges and polite applause, founders go public on stage as tradable tickers.

Leaderboards move with every trade. The champion is crowned by the market.We host monthly pitch nights in Ottawa designed for the people who actually build, fund, and back companies. Each event delivers cash prizes for winning founders and audience traders, professional pitch videos, and AI-generated social validation reports inside 24 hours — turning audience trading behaviour into structured signal on conviction, sentiment, and live investor reaction.Our mission is simple: make pitch competitions worth showing up to. For founders, that means real feedback and real exposure. For audiences, that means skin in the game. For sponsors, that means measurable engagement instead of a logo on a banner.PitchTank 1.0 sold out. The Champion raised $1M in their next round. PitchTank 2.0 is louder." } ] } ] ```
