# I would love to hear more about your startup. Literally.

I’ve been looking for an excuse to user [Twitter Spaces](https://help.twitter.com/en/using-twitter/spaces), the audio only Clubhouse competitor. And an idea dawned on my that was basically an audio version of Silicon Florist. What if I held a Spaces event where founders got to pitch their startup or startup concept to an audience?

Naturally, my immediate reaction was to [ask folks on Twitter](https://twitter.com/turoczy/status/1370207291610296326?) if they would be into it. And they seem to be.

> If I hosted a [@TwitterSpaces](https://twitter.com/TwitterSpaces?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw) that featured Portland startups pitching their companies or concepts, would that be of interest to anyone besides me?

So now, I’m asking you. If you I put something like this together, would you be willing to participate either as a presenter or as a listener? Feel free to reply on Twitter or just like the tweet.

If you’ve got a startup to pitch — it doesn’t have to be tech — please sign up below. In this beta test, I’ll ask you to deliver a three minute pitch on your company. And then I may ask you a couple of follow up questions, but we won’t open it up to a full Q&A. So it should be a safe space.

That means, even if you haven’t perfected your pitch, it’s a good environment to practice. And if you’d like some of my help on honing your pitch before you try it out in front of an audience. Feel free to [grab some time with me on Superpeer](https://superpeer.com/turoczy).

Once I’ve got a handful of startups signed up, I’ll schedule a time for the event and post it to [Meetup](https://www.meetup.com/PIE-Portland-startup-community/) and [Calagator](https://calagator.org) and stuff.

Looking forward to seeing if this works.
