Watch top startups take the stage and compete for prizes!
Want to see what the next generation of founders is building — before everyone else does?
Join them for the Grand Finale of Pitch Irvine, where the top startups from Irvine and across Orange County take the stage after a full day of competition.
Join them Friday, May 8 from 4:30PM to 6:30PM at the City of Irvine, 1 Civic Center Plaza, Irvine, CA 92606.
Pitch Irvine — Grand Finale (following Semi-Finals)
You’ll watch the best teams across Applied AI, Healthcare Innovation, Energy & Mobility, and DTC & Commerce pitch live — in front of investors, founders, and operators — all competing for the top spot.
Each track winner will receive a $1,000 prize, and all participants will be eligible for the People’s Choice Award, offering an additional opportunity to win $1,000 through audience voting.
This is not a passive audience. You’ll be part of the energy — showing up, supporting teams, and helping spotlight the founders who deserve to win.
Expect:
Innovative ideas and real ambition
a room full of builders, investors, and operators
live reactions, momentum, and community support behind standout teams
Whether you’re discovering startups early, meeting your next collaborator, or just want to be in the room where it happens — this is it.
