Keeping the Pace: Rolling into November x Rho

October set the pace from LA and SF Tech Week runs to founders pitching big ideas and giving back through our volunteer crew. Now, as we run into November, we’re keeping that same energy: more community stories, more startup spotlights, and more ways to connect. Big shoutout to everyone who showed up in October from those who ran, pitched, volunteered, or cheered. Keep an eye out this month for new runs, collaborations, and ways to get involved because at Pitch & Run, momentum never stops.
