UNCHARTED:PITCHES
A forum matching legendary investors and nascent companies—where empathy, access, and velocity meet.
The lot of the Entrepreneur is unenviable. The path to success is rutted and littered with hazards. Their hours would test the endurance of a Marine. Their world is unforgiving and unsympathetic. Securing Venture Capital funding is a grinding, time-consuming, and often humiliating process requiring an average of 100 presentations to get one check. “Pitches” aspires to be the remedy: frictionless (or close), empathetic, with meaningful capital from a large, engaged, and accomplished membership base comprised of serial entrepreneurs and family offices that have pre-allocated investment funds.
We aspire to create the largest, most frictionless, most empathetic, forum matching legendary investors and nascent companies with world-beating potential, in cities around the United States and in the future, the world.
The Community of Accomplished Entrepreneurs is discerning enough to predict winners; connected enough to encounter them; empathetic enough to encourage them; skilled enough to help them; and rich enough to fund them. And in number we are vast and mighty. We have all that is required for self‑actualization; high time that we start to support our own. The Community of Family Offices seeks deal flow—direct and feeless. And we desire for our children—the next generation who will inherit the burden of custodianship—exposure to great ideas and the unadulterated grit and perseverance of founders. “Pitches” will give them all that and more: an introduction to their peers. Our Philosophy of Inclusion: our collective will be of interest to everyone who seeks unprecedented deal flow and the educational osmosis from the ecosystem. This is something for all and all are welcome.
It is new companies that change the world. They are at the nexus of innovation; they are the drivers of job growth and wealth generation. (In fact, two‑thirds of the Forbes 400 are first‑gen, self‑made.) Our Member Community will be instrumental in sourcing start‑ups of explosive potential. Our Entrepreneurs also have “know‑it‑when‑I‑see‑it” judgment. They have experience and skills, and critically they are empathetic and eager to pay it forward. Moreover, our Member Community will be essential in the discovery and nurturing of start‑ups.
