Pitch Karaoke

Box Jelly

This is a low-stakes pitch competition for entrepreneurs at the idea to pre-seed stage. Just like karaoke, entrepreneurs will take the stage to present their idea—no need for perfect preparation or a microphone, just passion and creativity!

Meeting professionals at the ThriveHI events provided insights into various job opportunities and the advice I received helped me secure a position at an AI startup.
