Presenter Rules & Guidelines

Thinking about pitching?
Check out our process, requirements, and some examples for Pitch-A-Friend Austin before you submit your request to pitch!

Pitch Sign Up Process:

  1. Submit your Request to Pitch. You must sign up to pitch in advance to present at any of our events. Slots are limited. Submitting our form does not automatically grant you a slot to present (see step 2 below).
  2. Confirm and Pay for your Spot. IF and when you are notified that you've been given a slot to pitch at a specific event, you will need to confirm your slot within 72 hours by sending your confirmation payment ($5 via Venmo; see instructions in email). This gesture demonstrates your commitment to presenting, and as a token of appreciation, you'll receive a complimentary drink at the event!

    If we do not receive your confirmation payment within 72 hours, your slot will be given to someone else.
  3. Create and Submit Your Pitch. Send or share your presentation with us anytime before the event, ensuring it's received at least 48 hours prior to the start time. You will receive an email with specific instructions on how to deliver your presentation files.

Pitch Requirements:

  1. Keep it positive! This is NOT a roast. This event is to promote friends in a positive and fun way with the goal of helping them make a new connection!
  2. Keep it Clean. Please refrain from including nudity or inappropriate imagery.
  3. Keep it under 3 minutes! Be imaginative, but your presentation must be no more than 3 minutes.
  4. Keep it about them! Presentations are meant to be about the friends being pitched, not the presenters.
  5. Friend must be informed, consent, and be in attendance. The friend you are pitching must attend the event as well. They must also be aware, and consent, to being pitched.
  6. Keep out politics! This is meant to be lighthearted and fun!
