[Entre]preneur-SLAM: Storytelling & Startup Showcase

Where founders get real, get seen, and get heard.

Not your typical pitch night.

Entre-SLAM is a no-pitch zone. We’re a storytelling stage for bold thinkers, dreamers, and doers who are building something that matters—and ready to tell the story behind the hustle.

These intimate, high-vibe pop-up events bring together entrepreneurs, creatives, and community leaders to share true, unscripted stories about the real journey of building a business, a brand, or a movement. No decks. No jargon. Just raw truth, sharp insight, and plenty of "I felt that" moments.

Who It's For

  • Founders & Co-Founders with stories of failure, pivot, and purpose

  • Creatives & Consultants redefining success on their terms

  • Corporate Rebels & Intrapreneurs with a spark they couldn’t ignore

  • Aspiring Entrepreneurs ready to be inspired by what’s possible and real

Whether you're just starting or scaling something big, Entre-SLAM is the space to connect through story, not stats.

What to Expect

  • 6–8 storytellers from across the region

  • Surprise performances from multi-talented founders

  • A no-judgment, no-pitch atmosphere

  • A chance to connect, not compete

  • Cocktails, food trucks, and creative energy in unforgettable spaces

Each pop-up has a unique theme, but every event is built around one promise: authentic stories told by real people building bold things.

📍 Upcoming Pop-Ups

We’re always looking for founders, creatives, and brave humans with a story to tell.

🖤 Entre-SLAM is more than an event.

It’s a movement. A platform. A place to be seen and celebrated—not just for what you’ve built, but for what it took to build it.
