Pitch Party - Spark the New Pitch Year

The Henderson County Chamber of Commerce, Hatch Innovation Hub, BRCC Small Business Center, Southern Appalachian Brewery, Big Frog Custom T-Shirts and Hello Friends! Carrie Ann Chandler Real Realtor® with Keller Williams Mountain Partners have partnered to present this small business opportunity.

Got an idea waiting in the wings? Let’s use that spark to get your idea out there. Join us as we kick off the new year by helping founders and students take their ideas one step closer to happening in 2026.

Pitch Parties are no pressure, open mic nights where entrepreneurs and students can practice their pitch, get helpful feedback, and connect with others who are building big things in a relaxed, welcoming space.

Feeling nervous is completely normal and completely okay. Whether you are testing an idea or just want to get more comfortable talking about it, this is the place to practice. Or skip the mic and come soak up the inspiration and the pizza 

Typical Pitch Format:
1. Introduce yourself and the business / idea
2. State the problem you are addressing
3. State the solution you would present 
4. State a desired outcome if you need one
