A fun event where people pitch their single friends in front of an audience of great people Think “The Bachelor" … but with PowerPoint !
How does it work?
On the Fitzroy stage, the pitching friend and the friend they are pitching are both present.
The pitches are short: 3 minutes maximum and they are followed by a Q&A session where the single person answers questions from the audience.
If the person on stage caught your eye, don't hesitate to ask a question !
The presentation support is a series of funny and quirky slides in the style of start-up pitch decks… or not. Give it your all - it will never be too much !
After the presentations, we mingle over a drink and maybe find a match in the crowd
