Founder Showcase Campaign
Pitch Your Company at SEICon III July 6th–9th at Bellagio.
Founder showcase and fast pitch opportunities are now open for companies building in sports, entertainment, AI, health, golf, media, creator economy, fan engagement, and innovation.
SEICon III · July 6th–9th, 2026 · Bellagio Las Vegas
Limited presentation and fast pitch slots are being allocated now.
SEICon III brings together founders, investors, executives, athletes, creators, media leaders, and innovation companies across sports, entertainment, health, golf, and technology.
The room matters
Founders don't need another conference badge. They need the right room.
Most founders do not need more passive networking. They need visibility, investor conversations, strategic introductions, media moments, and a credible reason to follow up after the event.
SEICon III gives selected companies a chance to show up as more than attendees. They can pitch, present, network, and position their company in front of people who care about sports, entertainment, AI, health, golf, media, and innovation.
- Get seen by investors and strategic partners
- Create a reason to follow up with potential customers and investors
- Build credibility by presenting inside a premium event environment
- Meet founders, operators, executives, and media contacts
- Turn one event into weeks of post-event sales and investor follow-up
Why present
Why founders are using SEICon III as a visibility platform
Investor Exposure
Position your company in front of investors, angels, family offices, and strategic capital sources looking at sports, entertainment, media, health, golf, AI, and innovation.
Stage Credibility
Presenting gives your company a stronger reason to be remembered than simply attending.
Strategic Partnerships
Meet companies, brands, sponsors, operators, and executives who may become customers, partners, advisors, or distribution channels.
Media + Content
Create a high-value story around your company's presence at SEICon III and use it for post-event follow-up, investor updates, social proof, and sales.
Founder Networking
Surround yourself with other ambitious founders building in adjacent markets.
Bellagio Positioning
Premium venue. Premium environment. Premium perception.
Accredited Investor Networking
Where founders meet capital.
SEICon III brings together founders, accredited investors, angel investors, family offices, strategic capital partners, and industry executives inside a premium Bellagio networking environment.
Selected founders have the opportunity to pitch, present, and build relationships with investors and decision-makers interested in sports, entertainment, AI, media, health, golf, fan engagement, and emerging innovation categories.
This is your chance to create visibility, start investor conversations, and give your company a strong reason for post-event follow-up.
Participation does not guarantee funding or investor meetings. It gives founders access, visibility, and a high-value platform to build momentum.
