Welcome to Startup Oasis!

We will be introducing projects for you to get involved with during the pitches. There is no group like this on Meetup or in the startup world because we filter out the BS and get you going on a project ASAP. No judges, no winner, and no time-consuming feedback.

If you are looking to start, join, or help a tech startup, this event is for you! Startup founders pitch their business to the audience (similar to Shark Tank), then they will join their own breakout room to get feedback from the attendees (similar to a hackathon). People have been able to start a business as a result of this process. If you would like to pitch, please RSVP here, and sign up at check-in on the day of the event.

We meet on the 3rd Thursday evening of each month in person at our location at ATDC (Tech Square, 2nd-floor lobby)! If you have any questions, please reach out! ATDC is a technology incubator with world-class facilities - you will be impressed!

Free food and drinks are provided beforehand at a partner event with ATDC. ATDC Entrepreneurs Night starts at 5 PM, our event starts promptly at 7 PM. Everyone here is welcome to attend both events for free.

Schedule:
5:00 PM EST - Doors Open - networking with food and drinks
6:45 - Up to 10 founders are chosen to pitch; please sign up at check-in
7:00 - Startup Oasis Begins, each founder gets 3 minutes to pitch
7:30 onward - Founders break off into break-out rooms and attendees can move around and help one for the remainder of the time, similar to a hackathon.

Startup Oasis was created to pierce the illusion of accessibility of startups and tech by creating a grassroots forum for early-stage founders to pitch to those in the tech ecosystem to get real-time feedback for their idea or business.
