HTCJ × PitchFest Pipeline Now Open — From Build to Capital

We’re excited to announce the next step for Hack The Concrete Jungle.

We’re officially opening the pipeline from HTCJ → PitchFest → Startup World Cup.

Through our partnership with PitchFest, we’re creating a direct path for builders to move beyond the hackathon and into real opportunities:

  • Live pitch opportunities in front of active investors
  • Access to a growing venture ecosystem
  • A pathway toward funding and scale

This isn’t just about submitting a project.
It’s about turning what you built into a real company.

What started as an idea became a movement—built through real events, real people, and real momentum. Now, we’re extending that into a structured pipeline that connects builders to capital.

What this means for you:

  • HTCJ winners receive priority access into the PitchFest pipeline
  • All participants can apply to be considered for upcoming pitch opportunities
  • Teams can continue building and position themselves for investor exposure

We built HTCJ to create opportunity, not just projects.
Now we’re taking that to the next level.

📅 Event: HTCJ × PitchFest Pipeline Kickoff
Date: April 24, 2026
Location: Santa Monica, CA

If you built during HTCJ—or you’re still building—this is your moment to step into what’s next.

We don’t stop at demos.
We build, we prove, and now we scale.
