Founders Live Athletes BIG BASH

Founders Live Athletes Big Bash — Giving Tuesday

Tuesday, December 1, 2026 | 5–9 PM | The Showbox Downtown, Seattle

Spend Giving Tuesday at the intersection of sports, startups, and community impact. Part of Sports Venture Week, the Founders Live Athletes Big Bash brings together athletes, founders, investors, and community champions for an evening of fresh ideas, meaningful connections, and music—with Seahawks DJ Roscoe playing for the night.

Hear from athletes and industry experts about the journey from competition to entrepreneurship, then watch five athlete founders deliver 99-second startup pitches, followed by audience Q&A. You ask the questions—and your votes decide the winner.

The celebration also puts giving back center stage. Charity auctions and local nonprofit showcases offer opportunities to discover organizations making a difference, connect with their missions, and support their work this Giving Tuesday.

Come for the pitches, connect over a cause, and stay for the music.

Presented by Founders Live in partnership with Venture Black, WTIA, and Gametime Hero.
