SUMMARY:Bloom Pitch Night (2.0)
DESCRIPTION:Bloom is bringing you Pitch Night (2.0) — a fun\, low-pressure night where you can get up and share pretty much anything. Pitch your startup. Pitch your side hustle. Pitch your friend.

We’re not here to judge\, we’re here for the vibes.\nIn collaboration with Sidequesters of Perth\, this event is all about making pitching feel playful\, social\, and actually fun. You do not need to be super polished\, super professional\, or have your life together.
