INTRODUCTION
About the event
Pitch Global has long been a key player in the Southern California startup ecosystem, forging strong connections with institutions like Pepperdine, UCLA, Expert DoJo, Tie SoCal, and leading investors. While in-person events were disrupted in 2020, we reignited our presence three years ago with the Impact Investment Series at the Milken Conference. Now, we are thrilled to re-launch our signature events, bringing together entrepreneurs, investors, and mentors in a dynamic setting.
This is your opportunity to showcase your company to top-tier investors, gain valuable insights from industry leaders, and refine your pitch with expert guidance. A successful pitch isn’t built overnight—it requires dedication, strategy, and continuous improvement. Join us and take your startup to the next level!
- We expect investors in our extended ecosystem to invest $1 trillion+ over the next few years.

About Pitch Global
Pitch Global is a premier startup ecosystem dedicated to connecting entrepreneurs with investors, mentors, and strategic partners through high-impact pitch and educational events. By fostering meaningful relationships and providing essential resources, Pitch Global empowers startups and investors to accelerate growth and navigate the complexities of securing the right opportunities.
Since its founding in 2015 by Kaustav Chaudhuri (KC), Pitch Global has hosted transformative events and masterclasses, helping entrepreneurs refine their strategies and achieve their goals. Success in the startup world isn’t built on a single pitch—it thrives on consistent engagement within a strong network. As Russel Jones, CEO of PRIVATE FLEET NET ZERO, put it:
"After his successful exit with his previous company and the positive experience with Pitch Global, there was no question in his mind to join Pitch Global events and programs again."
In 2016/17, KC partnered with Axel Tillmann, now CEO of Pitch Global CVC Accelerator. Axel brings extensive experience from launching six+ startups across Europe and the U.S., as well as serving as a Corporate Venture Capital Managing Director ($150M AUM). Together, they launched CVC Accelerator, a dynamic marketplace offering information, masterclasses, and investor visibility, bringing together the best minds in the industry.
Pitch Global alumni have collectively raised over $1 billion, with powerful success stories from companies like AXBIO and PRIVATE FLEET NET ZERO. Whether you're an entrepreneur seeking funding or an investor looking for promising ventures, Pitch Global is the place where innovation meets opportunity.
