Pitchtree at CES 2027: Prepare, Pitch, and Meet the Right Investors
Five practice sessions, a pre-CES investor pitch day, and a CES tour starting with an investor pitch session on the CES floor. Pitchtree powers the preparation and investor matching, and Northern California SBDC clients join free.
CES 2027 runs January 6 to 9 in Las Vegas, and the smartest move is to show up already prepared. That is why Pitchtree is powering the preparation side of the CES 2027 Silicon Valley Funding Summit, the pitch event held the day before the show. Founders get coached first, then pitch to real investors, then walk the show floor with a plan.
It starts online with Perfect Your Pitch, five practice and feedback sessions on Tuesdays, December 1, 8, 15, 22 and 29, from 9:00 am to noon Pacific. Think of it as a dress rehearsal with honest notes. As Reid Hoffman likes to say, if you are not a little embarrassed by your first version, you launched too late. These sessions are where you find the embarrassing parts, in private, before an investor does.
Then comes the main event on Tuesday, January 5, 2027, at the Tuscany Suites & Casino in Las Vegas, all day. Startups pitch in front of angels, VCs, corporate investors, family offices and ecosystem partners. The day mixes keynotes, pitch sessions, a long GP/LP networking lunch and an evening networking reception with awards, so the conversations keep going after the pitches end. Pitch slots run from 3 to 6 minutes plus 2 minutes of Q&A, depending on the package. The investors and judges are mostly regulars from the Silicon Valley scene, and the full list is announced on the summit site a few weeks before the vent.
Two days later, the CES 2027 Tour takes startups onto the show floor, with two 5-hour tours spread over two half days. Each tour matches participating startups with top investors and vendors, which turns a crowded show into a short list of useful meetings.
Here is the special for Northern California: the program is free for NorCal SBDC clients across the participating centers, Silicon Valley (San Mateo included), Santa Cruz and East Bay. Not an SBDC client yet? Reach out through your local center first. Spots are limited, so apply early. Pitchtree.ai keeps working on one simple idea: well-prepared founders, the right investors, and a warm environment to meet.
NorCal SBDC clients can apply here. Everyone else can register for the summit or visit the website. Questions: [email protected] or [email protected].
