The Pitch

In the information age, anyone can make billions. All you need is that one brilliant idea and the venture capital to make it happen. But not everyone can get that capital.

Long Description

In the information age, anyone can make billions. All you need is that one brilliant idea and the venture capital to make it happen. But not everyone can get that capital.

Do you have what it takes? If you want the money, it all comes down to THE PITCH.

The Pitch is an American Freeform larp in three acts, exploring a realistic-yet-absurd premise in a darkly comedic tone. In this larp, we'll take a cynical look at the idealism, politics, and capitalist pressures of startup culture. Players will form competing startups, try to impress a panel of venture capitalists, and then try to pick up the pieces.

The Pitch first ran at Intercon T as an in-person freeform larp. This is an online adaptation of the game. A desktop or laptop computer is very highly recommended for the online version of this larp, as you'll be switching frequently between several apps.

The larp will involve in-game use of Google Slides, Slack, and Zoom. Players will create their own characters during workshop using some structured prompts, and will maintain these roles throughout the game except during the second act, when a few will be selected (from amongst those not presenting) to play venture capitalists using short pre-written character sheets.
