TODAY: Thesis Driven Pitch Night
Featuring 9 high-growth operators focused on niche industrial strategies—from IOS to powered land to aviation hangars

Today at 3pm EDT, Thesis Driven is hosting a live event featuring 9 operators—and each pitch is 7 minutes with 3 slides each.
Short, casual pitches followed by live Q&A—moderated by Brad and Paul, joined by David Cotterman (Drake REP) and Nina Vascotto (ICONIQ). These aren't seed-stage startups. They're scaled platforms with real assets and demonstrated execution at an inflection point of meaningful growth.
This event is for accredited & institutional investors only. If you register but cannot attend, we will send you the recordings.
