  ‍
• Mentor Office Hours
  Engage in insightful conversations with experienced mentors holding dedicated "office hours" to answer your questions and help accelerate your startup journey. See the mentor office hour schedule below. ("Office hours" is a bit of a misnomer - you'll find them floating from table to table)

12:00pm - 1:00pm Group Lunch

• Bring your own brown-bag lunch and enjoy spirited conversation in the group lunch area. (Some months the luncheon is sponsored.)

4:00pm - 6:00pm Pitches Slam

• Join the pitch slam to share your startup idea with the crowd. No deck needed, just grab the mic and tell the crowd what your idea is about in 3 minutes, with a couple of minutes of Q&A. You can sign up here to pitch (cutoff is EOD the day before the event). Not sure what to include in a 3-minute pitch? Use our 3-Minute Pitch Madlibs Guide.
