Pitch at the Movies

It started in London.

We took over a Cineworld screen in London and put student founders on it, pitching their ideas to a packed house under the lights. The energy was unreal, so we're taking it nationwide.

These shots are from the London night. A glimpse of what's rolling into eight cities across the UK in 2027.
