Entre-SLAM Storytelling Startup Showcase is our flagship monthly event, celebrating authentic entrepreneurial storytelling and breakthrough innovation. At the heart of the event, 5-10 startups take the stage for a powerful 3-5 minute storytelling-powered pitch. Live entertainment by a local artist sets the tone, followed by engaging networking sessions and dynamic prototype demonstrations.

This event welcomes everyone—from emerging entrepreneurs and seasoned founders to investors, mentors, and industry experts. Whether you’re debuting your latest innovation or staying connected with the pulse of the startup community, Entre-SLAM Startup Showcase is the place to be.

As a special bonus, every storyteller* will receive a complimentary 30-day review period for our pre-seed and seed funding program. This program spans over 50 verticals, connects with 481,000+ investors, taps into 118,000+ funds, and has facilitated over $2M in investments.

Are you interested in demoing your startup or sponsoring the event? Please email christa@entreslam.com. Join us on the third Thursday of each month and be part of the story shaping the future of entrepreneurship.
