#ShitPitch @ShitPitch was #killa last night! Kent Richeson has created something very special and fun - three Founders get to pitch a real business idea to investors.....but first! they need to pitch a shitty business idea. The Founders killed it! they were fantastic and very entertaining. I loved that people doing great things for our community got a chance to share, like my dear friend Brandy Vega who founded #Promise2Live Promise2Live which is preventing suicide and saving lives. Join the challenge to get 50,000 coin 'hugs' to first responders and schools over the holidays.

If you know me, you know I attend and produce a LOT of events. But this one stood out. Last week, I went to Shit Pitch and it was one of the most creative and entertaining networking events I’ve attended in a hot minute. The concept? Founders pitch their business idea… AND THEN they also have to pitch a random but themed horrible idea on the spot. 😆 With little prep. Just creativity, adaptability, and humor. It was funny, inspiring, and filled with incredible people. If you’re in LA, the next ShitPitch is on December 3rd—don’t miss it! 🎟️ https://lu.ma/fwixafzb Shout to the founder Kent Richeson + the pitchers Zain Premji & Sabina Hemmi & Jack Sawyer #LosAngelesevents #founders #investors #keepnetworkingweird #Austinevents
