First Look Forum is WTIA’s signature, semiannual, invite-only startup showcase. The showcase presents never-seen-before, early-stage, growth-oriented startups from every segment of innovation in the Pacific Northwest. The presentations are the culmination of an in-depth coaching program that prepares entrepreneurs to successfully pitch investors.

The showcase happens in a single fast-paced afternoon, the audience votes to select five finalists, who in turn pitch to a panel of the region’s top VC’s. This standing-room only event is attended by representatives of over 20 venture firms and angel groups…all there to hear pitches from entrepreneurs presenting to the startup community for the very first time! Attendance at this unique event averages over 100, and the only service providers in the room are the event sponsors.
