Host an Entre-SLAM in Your City

Bring #nopitchzones to your next pitch or showcase night.

While the ability to pitch effectively is essential, we believe that when you only have seconds to connect with someone important, a tight, powerful story will get you in the door so you can pitch. Entre-SLAM is dedicated to the art and craft of brand storytelling.

An Entre-SLAM is a fun, low-pressure experience where entrepreneurs have 3 to 5 minutes to share a story from their experience based on a theme. Since 2012, Entre-SLAM has covered many themes that touch on various aspects of the founder’s experience, such as ‘My Best Mistake Ever’ or ‘Never Again.’ Beyond the storytelling, each sister city chooses a social impact project to activate and achieve over the year.

Bring Out the Crowd

Be different and offer a unique alternative to yet another pitch night. This experience is an all-hands-on-deck experience that gets the town talking long after the event is over. (in a good way)

Or, Keep it Small and Intimate

Go low-tech and invite entrepreneurs to join you for dinner, and let the storytelling experience look and feel organic and authentic.
