Explore the formatThe roots
The Pitch Club opened its first room in 2021, in the middle of the social-audio era on Clubhouse, when live audio brought founders and investors together across six continents. That single room was The Pitch Room — founders didn't just walk in; they tapped to join the stage for a 60–90 second pitch. Regulars came to call it the Wall Street of Clubhouse: the room where founders and money met out loud. What started there grew into 1,000+ recorded rooms and over 5,000+ live pitches, held open by a volunteer bench of 100+ moderators drawn from VC, angel, PE, and the C-suite — people who gave their time so any founder could be heard. Five years on, those roots still shape how the room runs: HOPE — Help One Person Everyday — and a seat for anyone with something to build.
