If you are building a startup and your pitch deck is the story you take to investors, this night is for you.
JR Secure Design is hosting a pitch deck competition on Wednesday, October 28, 2026 at 8:00 PM Eastern (EDT). We help founders and nonprofits move from vision to a market-ready venture with fractional C-suite advisors, build and IT services, and our AI Strategic Advisor platform. This event puts that same founder-first energy into one focused evening around your deck.
What it is
A live pitch deck competition for startup founders who want sharper narrative, clearer technical credibility, and honest investor-readiness feedback. On our Startups page we already run a monthly free pitch deck review—comprehensive analysis of narrative flow, technical feasibility, and investor readiness through our AI strategic advisors, with human fractional expertise behind the work. This October 28 event builds on that commitment: bring your deck, get real feedback, and get seen.
How to join: submit your pitch deck (PDF) through the form on our Startups page, then book a 30-minute meeting with our team to lock in your spot.
Who should enter
Startup founders—especially pre-seed and seed teams, solo founders, and both technical and non-technical builders who need a polished story for fundraising. If you are raising, refining your narrative, or testing whether your deck lands with people who sit in CTO, CMO, CSO, CFO / Chief Fundraising Officer, CAO, and COO seats every day, you belong here.
Why enter
- Feedback that cuts through noise. Our team works as fractional C-suite advisors on your side—not as spectators. Expect practical notes on story, product feasibility, and how investors will read the room.
- AI plus human judgment. The same Startups pathway that offers free AI-powered deck review on narrative, tech, and investor readiness informs how we look at submissions.
- Exposure for serious founders. Competing puts your company in front of people who build, secure, market, and help raise for startups for a living.
- A clear next step after the night. Whether you want deeper advisory support or a strategy conversation, the door stays open.
