Speed Pitch: Guaranteed 1:1 Meetings With Investors

Oct 21, 2026The Startup StationRegister by Oct 15, 2026

The fifth edition of The Startup Station's Speed Pitch in New York: 36 startup spots, each matched into guaranteed one-to-one meetings with investors instead of the usual keynote-and-mingle format. Confirmed funds include New York Ventures, New York Bay Capital, Hexa-AI, Vamos Ventures, Gaingels, Yan Ventures, Lightscape Partners, Valued Ventures, BuenTrip Ventures, Zavo Ventures and Ensemblex Venture. Wednesday, October 21, 2026, 4:30–8:30 PM; registration is by host approval and closes October 15. Investors apply through a separate link.

Details: Guaranteed meetings are rare — come with a two-minute version of your pitch and a clear ask, because 1:1 slots here are short.

CSI Tech Incubator — Fall 2026 Cohort (Applications)

A nine-week, no-equity incubator run by the College of Staten Island Innovation Hub (CUNY) for early-stage tech startups preparing to raise a Seed or Series A. Includes a business development and digital strategy curriculum, one-to-one work with mentors, investors and subject matter experts, access to office space and CUNY facilities, plus events and discounted resources — applications for the Fall 2026 cohort are open on F6S.

Why I recommend it: No equity taken and it is CUNY-backed, so this is about as low-risk as incubators get — worth applying even if your fundraise is a year out.
