Monthly ยท Spots Fill Every Cycle

Pitch for Cash. Live.

Every month, Sengo founders pitch in front of real investors, Fortune 100 executives, and exited founders โ€” and compete for $1K+ in prizes. Founder members get priority spots every cycle.

A pitch deck is required to apply.

Past Judges & Partners

The room has real resources.

Sengo pitch competitions are judged by people who actually write checks, make decisions, and open doors.

How It Works

Five steps.
One month.

The competition runs every month on a rolling basis. Apply, pitch, get feedback, and walk away with capital or connections โ€” or both.

01
Create your account
Start your Founder member trial (1 month free) for priority pitch spots, or create a free account for one shot at the single free spot per cycle.
02
Apply for a spot
Submit a short application inside the platform. Every pitch founder is hand-selected by Sengo โ€” Founder members get priority consideration, with one spot per cycle reserved for free accounts.
03
Prepare your pitch
A pitch deck is required to apply. Come ready to talk about your business, your ask, and your traction. The library has prep resources to help.
04
Pitch live to judges
Present to a panel of investors, executives, and exited founders. Get live feedback on your pitch, your model, and your positioning in real time.
05
Win cash + connections
$1K+ in prizes paid to winners. Plus judges who want to stay connected โ€” introductions happen here, not just on stage.
