Foodpreneurs Collective Pitch Lounge
The event series “Foodpreneurs Collective Pitch Lounge” has run five times per year since 2021, co-hosted by the long-running co-producers of this series – Sascha Dutta (Marketing Strategiser & FoodHack), Meiraj Ahmed from Meiraj a.i and Jamal Maxey (Pitch Lounge & My Guide Berlin).
This pitching opportunity suits early-stage startups, pre or post-investment, or revenue. We have even hosted Seed startups wanting to come and receive feedback on their new Seed investor pitch deck to polish it later in advance of investor meetings, where the pitch deck and presenting feedback are often in short supply.
No investors are bulk invited (however, we usually host 1-2 investment industry professionals on the panel and some investors also might attend in the audience).

Event Format:
☑️ Introductions from host Sascha Dutta (Marketing Strategiser & FoodHack) and former FoodHack London Lead Ambassador and now FoodHack Dubai Ambassador
☑️ Up to six pre-selected pitches + feedback rounds (5-7 minutes to pitch plus 8-10 minutes feedback)
☑️ Brief announcements on future events and support services from Jamal Maxey (Pitch Lounge & Founder Institute).
