FUN'D: Fund it or Forget it

FUN'D is the comedy show where the pitch deck dies, and startups shine. Comedians team up with founders to deliver a high-stakes performance, determining whether their fate is to be funded or forgotten. A curated panel of investors, operators, and comedic minds gives the public "fund it or forget it" verdicts on the spot. Between pitches, two audience wildcards get pulled up to build a startup idea live, cold, in front of everyone.
