What we’re about
Demolicious is a monthly event that brings together very early-stage teams to give them a safe space in which they can pitch their ideas. Teams get 3 minutes to pitch and the audience gets to decide the winner.
To sign up to pitch, simply fill out this form: https://forms.gle/pqoyNY9q11CMse8t6
Winning teams will be declared "Demolicious Champion" and will have to come back the next month to defend their belt.
We are always looking for local organizations to support this event. Please reach out to Josh Carter at josh@upstartcollective.org for more information about how you can support.

Demolicious is back! This monthly pitch event brings together founders and the community to learn about what is being built here and around Portland.
How this all works: If you are a founder, you will apply to pitch here. Don't worry. "Apply" simply means you want to pitch, but there's no real competitive process to be accepted. We just want to see what you're working on before we put you in front of a room full of people.
You will be given 3 minutes to pitch at the event.
The audience will be given a QR code to vote for their favorite pitch. The one with the most votes will go home with the Demolicious Championship belt.
