Founders Live NYC Gives Five Startups 99 Seconds Each
A short pitch exposes what a founder thinks the audience needs to understand first. Founders Live NYC returns on November 12 with five founders each given 99 seconds to make that case.
Founders Live New York City is scheduled for November 12, 2026, from 6:00 PM EST to 9:00 PM EST (America/New_York), BELONG NYC: Space for You & Your Belongings, New York, NY, US. Check the official page for current ticket availability and participation terms.
The announced program
Each presentation is followed by four minutes of audience questions, with the audience voting for the winner. Rion Haber is listed as the host, and the page names VentureScale, Lovable and Pensato among the supporting organizations. A verified November presenter roster is not yet established by the source.
A question to bring
The format gives founders a compact example of how a problem, product and customer fit into a single explanation. Investors and operators can use the question period to test what the pitch left unclear.
See the official event page for the latest program, registration and access details.
