SEPARATING THE DREAMERS FROM THE DOERS TV PILOT FILMING RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU, THE AUDIENCE! This is an investor-focused room. Attendees include investors, operators, founders, and those who understand the stakes of a pitch. What to Expect: Eight CEOs. One stage. Two pitches each. The first look at THE CUT, the upcoming TV show that reveals the person behind the pitch. Watch as CEOs from the 15-city national tour face real investors, pressure, and pure chaos to prove what it takes to build and sell a company. Each CEO delivers their seed+ raise after presenting a horribly mysterious bad business idea. This is not the full show. It’s the live gauntlet that feeds into it. We're going beyond the WHAT to find the WHO behind the next big bet. We've already helped founders raise more than $8 million in funding, and counting!
