You built the thing. It works in a demo, it looks real, and then someone asks whether it can handle a thousand users and take payments. That gap is where AI built products stall.

Superteam Ireland runs a pitchathon at Dogpatch Labs, in the lead-up to Colosseum's Crypto World's Fair hackathon (online, 14 Sep - 12 Oct). A pitchathon is a hackathon for pitches: no code required. You spend the afternoon sharpening a startup idea, pressure-testing it with people who have built before, and pitching it to judges for feedback. Open to all levels - the organiser states you do not need a team, a technical background or a polished pitch. Bring a brand-new idea, something you have been exploring, or a startup you are already building. Prizes are awarded for the best pitches. Schedule: 09:30 the co-working space opens (work from Talent Hub and meet people); 14:00 the pitchathon kicks off; 16:30 wrap-up with judges' feedback. Free, and registration is open to anyone on the event page - no approval or membership required. Note that the separate Colosseum hackathon has its own registration at colosseum.com if you want to carry your pitch forward into it.
