“According to most studies, people’s number one fear is public speaking. Number two is death. Does that sound right? This means to the average person, if you go to a funeral, you’re better off in the casket than delivering the eulogy.”
Painted by James LaLonde
At Pitch Club we believe pitching and getting your ideas across to others effectively is an important life skill. We also believe the only way to get better is by pitching regularly and getting real time feedback from your peers when you do a pitch.
Pitch Club is serious about helping you learn to better express yourself and ideas in public and people keep coming back because it is a safe, honest and fun place to learn by doing!
Those who pitch at Pitch Club all get immediate online feedback, a video of their pitch, and most importantly benefit from the “Pitch Club feedback loop” where we circle the chairs and get face-to-face feedback from their peers in the room. The Pizza, water and soft drinks are free to all. A pitch club T-Shirt is presented to all pitchers at the end.
In case you were wondering….
About PitchClub
Pitch Club was founded in June of 2019 by James LaLonde, author of the bestselling startup book “The Tao of Startups” and is sponsored by book proceeds and by Yodo1 Games, a company James co-founded with Henry Fong.

Our new reality is online!
Join us on Teams!
From 2020 we have shifted to an online version to meet the needs of our participants. To sign up pitch or join a Pitch Club session audience, join the Pitch Club WeChat group. If you have any questions feel free to contact Pitch Club M.C. Flo Alcasas directly (WeChat: ftalcasas)
At Pitch Club we provide a safe and honest forum of your peers for you to learn to pitch and express your ideas better. We use a methodology called Deliberate Learning. Central to success in learning is getting rich, relevant, and real-time feedback.
Pitchers at Pitch Club get this feedback in 3 ways:
An online feedback survey that is completed by the audience immediately after your pitch
A video of your pitch will be delivered to you (personally) online so that you can evaluate your performance after the fact yourself.
The “Pitch Club Feedback Loop” session is after the pitches are completed. A live, interactive, face-to-face feedback session where you get open and honest feedback and encouragement from your peers.
You have to experience Pitch Club to truly appreciate it. Come join us, improve your communication skills, and make some new friends!
Pitch Club是由创业家朗龙杰于2019年6月在北京创立的一项公益提升演讲技能的活动。在Pitch Club，我们认为有效地将你的想法传递给他人是一项重要的生活技能。我们相信，要取得进步的唯一方法就是经常练习并从同行那里获得实时反馈。 在Pitch Club平台上进行演说的人可以立即获得一份现场观众的在线问卷反馈以及录制的现场演说视频，最重要的价值在于可以从同行给予的反馈里循环受益。在该“循环”中，参与者围坐在一起，在围炉夜话的氛围里获得面对面的反馈。 我们向所有完成演讲的参与者赠送一件Pitch Club定制的T恤衫。Pitch Club在开启的第一年已成功举办了线下1000多场，现在视频会议软件Teams平台上持续举办 。
游道易网络文化有限公司及朗龙杰最新出版的新书《创业道》的收益为Pitch Club的持续举办提供了赞助支持。如果你喜欢Pitch Club并希望它能一直举办下去，欢迎买一本书或是试试我们的手机游戏来支持吧！
