SHE PITCH PARTY
AKER BRYGGE BUSINESS VILLAGE | AUGUST 25 2026
SHE Pitch Party is a pitch competition and networking event celebrating founders who are building companies that matter. Open to all, with a deliberate focus on bringing more women to the stage and into the room. Whether you're pitching, investing, or just here to connect, this is the kind of afternoon that moves things forward.
Hosted by Farvatn, LUMO Labs VC, in partnership with Xplorico.
Are you a founder who wants to pitch?
If you're building something that matters and you're ready to put it in front of investors, this is your moment. SHE Pitch Party brings together a room full of the right people: active VCs, experienced angels, and ecosystem partners who are genuinely looking for their next deal.
We're looking for early-stage founders with a scalable idea, a clear problem they're solving, and the drive to back it up on stage. All founders are welcome. We're actively encouraging more women to step up and pitch.
Apply to pitch below. Spots are limited.
