Before the pitches

Decks in, without the chase

Upload pitch decks via PDF or links, or let founders upload their own decks straight into the agenda — and stop running behind presenters or swapping last-minute updated decks.

During the pitches

One screen, one desk

Show all pitch decks on one or multiple audience screens. Let the audience ask and upvote questions in the Question Room. Start and stop the timer, and push audience questions onto the screen — from your laptop or phone.

After the pitches

Vote and reveal

Start the voting and let the audience vote for startups publicly or privately via individual codes or email addresses — then show the animated voting results on the screen.

Everything the person running the event actually needs

Multi-Format Agenda

Build the running order with pitches, keynotes and breaks, drag to reorder, attach decks and moderation notes. One click starts an item and the whole room follows.

Dynamic Audience Screen

The projector shows the current deck, page-synced with your desk. Reveal a question, a QR code or the countdown — nothing else ever leaks on screen.

Timer with Countdown

Per-item countdowns, start / pause / adjust from the desk, visible to the stage and the room. It stops at 00:00 — no awkward negative overtime.

Question Room

Guests scan a code, ask, and upvote once. You freeze the ranking to read comfortably, then push the best question full-screen behind a blurred slide.

Voting Room

Custom voting questions with described, illustrated options. Open the vote, close it, and show the result — no spreadsheet, no shouted show of hands.

Moderator Access

Invite your host by email. They sign in with a one-time code and only see what you switched on — questions, broadcast, timer, voting, notes.

Frequently asked questions

What counts as a guest?

One guest is one device that opens your question room or voting room, counted once per event. Reloads, upvotes and switching between the question and voting room never count twice. Your director desk, audience screen and moderator view never count.

Can I control access to the questions or voting?

Yes — give guests an individual code generated in pitchevent.studio, or import an attendee email list. This also makes sure that every guest votes only once.

What if I need more guests?

Upgrade to the next plan at any time — we bill the difference for the rest of your plan year. There are no guest top-up packs to manage.

Is VAT included?

Prices are net. VAT is added at checkout based on your country and VAT ID.

Do guests need to install anything?

No. Guests scan a QR code and open the question or voting room in their phone browser. No app, no account, no sign-up.

Which presentation formats work?

PDF decks, video files and presentation links. Every agenda item can carry its own format, and the audience screen switches between them without you leaving the desk.

What do I need at the venue?

One laptop for the desk and one projector or screen for the audience view. If the sound comes from another device, you choose which screen plays the timer cue.

Can someone else moderate the event?

Yes. Invite your moderator by email — they sign in with a one-time code and only see the controls you switched on, from a tablet or phone.

How many events can I run?

As many as you like. Plans are based on how many guests join your question and voting rooms in a year, not on the number of events or team seats.
