Pitch Lift: Boston's $100,000 Elevator Pitch Competition

Hosted by Pitch Lift

Wednesday, September 30, 2026

6:00 PM–9:30 PM ET

About

Founders step into an actual elevator with 30 seconds to deliver their pitch — for the chance to walk away with $100,000 in cash. Judges score each pitch on quality, opportunity, and marketability, and the night wraps with high-energy networking. Hosted by Pitch Lift founder Rob Hughes ("Tech Jesus") with co-host Sophia Zhang. Founders who want to compete can apply to pitch at thepitchlift.com.
