Tom Tom Festival
Crowdfunded Pitch Night

Community Investment Collaborative (CIC) is continuing its partnership with the Tom Tom Foundation to host the 13th Annual Crowdfunded Pitch Night during the 2026 Tom Tom Festival!

On Wednesday, April 22, 2026, at 7pm, the Crowdfunded Pitch Night will be held at The CODE Building. Ten (10) local entrepreneurs will pitch their business concepts to a live audience, excited to pledge funds to their favorite contestant. It’s a three minute chance to share your vision with the community, inspire the crowd to action, and compete for a chance to win a max of $5,000 grand prize. Aside from the grand prize, all funds raised by a startup will go directly to the startup, regardless of the crowd favorite.

In years past, the Crowdfunded Pitch Night has garnered major support and yielded substantial opportunities for the entrepreneurs through prizes, recognition, and business development. Former participants and winners credit the event as a launching pad for their current success.

We hope to see you at Tom Tom Festival 2026!
