Summary
Boiler Room is a high-energy, high-pressure startup pitching showdown curated by ACIC-VGU Foundation, where founders are tested not only on their business ideas but also on their agility, clarity, and confidence. It’s not your usual pitch event—it’s a startup stress test.
Event Description
Boiler Room is an adrenaline-charged startup pitching session designed to test the readiness, innovation, and resilience of emerging founders. Hosted by ACIC-VGU Foundation, the session breaks the mold of traditional pitching with a format that is fun, fast, and fiercely competitive.
Startups take the stage to pitch their ventures before a jury of experts, but with a twist:
-
Red Flag Challenge: Jury members can raise a red flag for bold or unrealistic claims and demand real data or clarification.
-
Wild Card Question: Founders are thrown curveballs—unexpected, quirky questions to test their spontaneity and lateral thinking.
-
Pitch Survival Bell: If energy drops mid-pitch, a bell rings, nudging the founder to bring the pitch back to life.
-
Smiley Ball Throw: When time runs out, stress balls—not buzzers—are thrown at the founders in good spirit, making time management both visual and fun.
Participants receive instant, candid feedback from investors, mentors, and domain experts—making it a learning experience wrapped in fire.
Whether you survive the heat or rise above it, the Boiler Room promises to leave every founder sharper, bolder, and more pitch-ready than ever.
