Tom Powell introduces Lift Pitch Tahoe, where startup founders pitch investors while riding ski lifts. The Founder's Office and Sastermind help founders convert these brief conversations into real investor meetings. The event will run annually and expand to ski resorts across the US and globally.

Tom Powell here, and I'm with the Founder's Office, and just as importantly, I'm with Sky Tavern. And today we had just one of the most cool, kick-ass events. And it was great because we had people who need to raise capital for their ideas to become real, true businesses, and we had capital that was in the room looking to invest in those businesses. And this gave them an opportunity to actually have people in the audience who do invest in startup businesses. And so they were able to make those pitches on the ski lift. Now you captured somebody on a chairlift and they want to hear more about what you do. How do you actually go through that process? So we gave the founders some ideas about how they could do that through our Founder's Office and through Kevin Peterson and his Sastermind. And so they could take those tools and actually be able to talk to capital and say, this is what I'm building, and would you like to go to the next step and learn more? Lift Pitch Tahoe is not a one-time event. We will be doing this annually here. We're also looking to do this at other ski resorts around the country and even around the world.
