About Pitcher
Pitcher is a professional discovery network for early stage startups. Each startup has one free page with its pitch, founders, progress and what it needs right now, so investors, advisors, operators, customers and other founders can follow it, ask the founders questions and contact the team.
What is on a startup page
Every company gets one. This is Pitcher, as it reads today.
Pitcher
A startup discovery network where founders show what they are building, what they need and how it changes, and people who can help find them.
Pitcher gives every early stage startup one page: what it is building, who is behind it, what it needs right now, and what changes over time.
Investors, advisors, operators, customers, students and other founders discover startups, follow the ones they care about, ask the founders questions in the open, and offer help in the same words the founder used to ask for it.
- Customers
- Feedback
- Advisors
- and two more
Who they are
The name, one line, the industry, the stage and the place.
The pitch
In the founder's own words: the problem, the solution, the progress so far.
Needs right now
Customers, advisors, a cofounder, investment. You answer in the same words.
Deck, video and demo
The material, one click from the page.
The founders
Their profiles, so you know who you would be talking to.

Adding a startup#
A founder adds their startup and fills in the page themselves, or their own AI agent (Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Codex or another that supports connectors) prepares a private draft. Nothing goes live until the founder publishes it from their own account.
Cofounders and teammates join by invitation. A founder enters a teammate's email address in the page's Team section and sends them the link, and they accept it from their own account. The page shows its team, and each person's profile shows what they are building.
Who it is for#
Founders
One page for your company. People who can help reach you through it, and your email address is never shown.
Investors and advisors
Read the pitch and the deck before a meeting. Ask a question on the page, or contact the team directly.
Engineers, designers and students
Find the startups that say they need a cofounder, an early hire or an intern.
Programs
Send your mentors and investors to each company's page before a meeting.
How contacting a team works#
A startup lists what it needs. When you contact the team, you pick the same word and write a short message. The team sees your profile and decides whether to accept.

What Pitcher is not#
Pitcher is not an investing platform.
It does not process investments, sell securities, give investment advice, broker deals, or guarantee funding. It is not an accelerator, a venture fund or a pitch competition either. It takes no equity and runs no program. Roles are what people say about themselves and nothing is verified by Pitcher. Do your own diligence on anyone you meet here, exactly as you would anywhere else.
Why Pitcher exists#
Pitcher is built so a startup can be found for what it does, however small its founders' network.
One account per person#
It is free, and it carries the roles you actually have. An investor who is also a founder is both.
