Parramatta Pitch Night x Female Founders Club

Got an idea you’ve been working on? A side hustle you’re testing? Or a pitch you want to sharpen before taking it out into the world?

To celebrate International Women’s Day (yes, we're celebrating the whole month!), we’re bringing together founders, students, and business-minded people for a special edition of Parramatta Pitch Night x Female Founders Club – a fun, low-pressure pitch night designed to help you practice, get real feedback, and connect with community.

Whether you’re a female founder that's early-stage, still shaping your idea, or just curious about pitching – this night is for you.

📅 Event Details

Date: Tuesday 24 March 2026
Time: 5.30pm – 7.30pm
Location: Launch Pad Parramatta
Prize: $200 voucher for 1st place (sponsored by our wonderful partner – Alderon)

How It Works

• 5–7 pitchers will take the stage

• 3-minute pitch + 3 minutes of questions or feedback

• A friendly judging panel will ask questions and share insights

• One standout pitch takes home the $200 prize ✨

This isn’t Shark Tank. It’s about learning, refining your message, and getting constructive feedback in a supportive environment.

Who Can Pitch?

We’re calling for:

• Startup founders

• Aspiring founders

• Students with business ideas

• Business owners or side-hustlers

You don’t need a registered company or a polished deck – just an idea you’re excited about and willing to share.

👉 If you’d like to pitch, select the “Pitcher” ticket and complete the additional questions at checkout.
Successful pitchers will be contacted ahead of the event.
