The 50th Reverse Pitch Event: Catalyzing Innovations through Collaboration

On November 20, 2025, a significant milestone will be celebrated in the world of innovation and collaboration—the 50th Reverse Pitch event organized by S venture Lab, a pioneering initiative by Strike Corporation. This event promises to bring together prominent business leaders and dynamic startups to foster creative partnerships and explore collaborative opportunities.

The concept of the Reverse Pitch is revolutionary in its approach. Unlike traditional pitching events where startups present their ideas to potential investors, in this format, established companies articulate their needs for collaboration. These leading organizations will deliver presentations outlining specific challenges they face and the types of partnerships they are seeking with startups. This unique interaction sets the stage for fruitful engagements, as startups can align their innovative solutions with the strategic requirements of larger businesses.
