QuickPitch Live Pitch Event Platform Success Story

Project Overview

At pitch nights, startup events and classroom presentations, feedback is often scattered, inconsistent and quickly forgotten, so presenters walk away with a score but little direction. Developed by Tangram Tech with 9series, QuickPitch is a live pitch event platform where presenters deliver timed pitches, audiences and judges rate them in real time, and AI turns the feedback into clear, practical insight. Organizers can run a full event with invited pitchers and judges, or open a Quick Pitch room in a single click.

Specific Business Problems

Unstructured feedback: comments at pitch events are informal and hard to compare.
Manual event management: organizers juggle invitations, timing, scoring and results across separate tools.
Limited insight for presenters: scores alone do not show what to improve.
Missed opportunities: audience members who could offer mentorship, introductions or funding have no easy way to do so.

Objectives

Bring the full event into one place: setup, live pitching, rating, feedback, rankings and follow-up.

Specific Goals & KPIs

Structure feedback by letting audiences and judges rate pitches against clear criteria.
Simplify event delivery with one place to set up, run and close live sessions.
Drive engagement through live updates, points, badges and leaderboards.
Turn feedback into insight, with AI highlighting strengths and areas to improve.
Connect presenters with support: resources, mentorship, introductions and funding.

AI Functionality

Pitch Feedback Summary gives each pitcher a short summary of all their feedback, with key strengths and areas to improve.
Event Analysis gives organizers an overview of the whole event: what was praised most, common improvement areas, key themes and the overall tone.
Feedback Enhancement turns quick notes written by raters during a pitch into clear, well-written feedback for the presenter.
Built on the Anthropic API with Claude Haiku 4.5 for fast, focused responses in a fixed format that always displays cleanly.

Impact of Challenges

Presenters left with a score but little direction on how to improve.
Feedback that could not be compared across pitches or raters.
Organizers spending event time on tools instead of the event.
Offers of mentorship, introductions or funding going unmade.

Proposed Solution

Event management with public or private events, custom rating criteria, ready-made templates and adjustable pitch timers.
Quick Pitch rooms: a live room in one click, to get feedback on your own pitch or host several presenters.
Easy joining by QR code, invite link or access code, with optional self-registration.
Live star ratings, written comments and offers of support, all synced in real time.
Leaderboards, analytics, downloadable reports and Basic, Pro and Ultra subscription plans.
