Format & Events

One mechanic. Infinite environments.

The Palooza Elevator Pitch is a 60 second pitch inside a constrained physical environment, ending in a live decision. Today it's elevators. Tomorrow it's swimming pools, stadium tunnels, rooftops, helicopters, cable cars — anywhere we (or our licensees) can stage a Palooza.

Format variants

Bring a Palooza to your venue

Investor format

Startup & Investment

Founders pitch in the elevator for live investor evaluation. Green exit proceeds to the boardroom or auditorium for a longer pitch; red exit returns via the lift, with audience vote or crowdfunding routes.

Internal format

Corporate Innovation

Employees pitch ideas to leadership, customers or innovation teams. Same elevator mechanic, internal decision outcomes — used for innovation, training and development programmes.

Commercial format

Sales & Live Prospects

Vendors pitch products or services to live buyers under time pressure. A high-conversion sales format dressed as a Palooza event.

Fundraising format

Charity & Purpose

Causes pitch to raise funds, awareness and public support — with audience engagement and alternative funding mechanisms built into the format.

Broadcast format

Media & Entertainment

A multi-stage TV / digital format: digital entry, elevator pitch, evaluation, selection, final pitch and a post-event ecosystem with mentors and audience engagement.
