You pitch your startup. The investor nods. Says "interesting." Then nothing. That is how most pitch events end. A handshake. A maybe. A silence that stretches until you stop checking your email. GGW Sharks is not that. The format is two minutes. No slides. You stand in front of five investors and explain what you are building. Apply here to pitch: https://forms.gle/Gv3nQ8J3T6JNXxMn7 If the panel wants to continue the conversation, we make the intro happen. Not a forwarded email. Not "let me check." A direct warm introduction. The judge panel: • Bryce Gilleland, California Innovation Fund • Dan Ellis, Sher Ventures • Ketie Weiss, ff Venture Capital • Alex Zhuravlev, Mento VC • David Mandel, Emerging Ventures Capital Not pitching? Come watch, network, and see how investors really evaluate deals. RSVP here https://app.goglobal.world/event/77
