Welcome, deal-flow partner. Join our exclusive investor network today for the handsome price of zero dollars.
Get first access to startup allocations, receive insider deal memos, and get invited to exclusive investor mixers around Portland where the real term-sheet conversations happen.
You are not here to watch. You are here to discover, deploy, and win. ShitCon is an exclusive live deal-flow event where 10 pre-vetted startups compete for a single Grant — and you decide who gets it.
Every attendee is issued real investment dollars the moment they walk in. You allocate your capital across the presenting startups in real time. The leaderboard tracks every allocation live. The startup that raises the most from the room takes home our Grant — and the investors who backed them earliest get in on the ground floor.
This is not a pitch-watch. This is an investor draft. Vetted deal flow. Immediate allocation. A room full of people who write checks.
Access is strictly limited to 200 attendees. Investor Pass requires accredited investor status. The Grant is awarded as-is, non-transferable, no cash equivalent, must be accepted in person. Decision of the Grant committee is final.

TESTIMONIALS
ShitCon doesn't just disrupt the conference model — it redefines what a Grant can be. The basement isn't a liability. It's a feature. Stay hungry. Stay shitty.
Steve Jobs
Visionary, Apple
SHITCON! SHITCON! SHITCON! I'M GIVING AWAY THIS GRANT! INVESTORS! COME TO SHITCON! BEST CONFERENCE I'VE NEVER BEEN TO! WOOOO!
Steve Ballmer
Former CEO, Microsoft
It's like a Pavement B-side wandered into a pitch meeting. Starts off making sense, gets slacker, ends with someone chained to a pipe. I'd probably go. Might write a song about it.
Steve Malkmus
Frontman, Pavement
I've attended 47 business conferences. This is the first where the Grant has a name tag. Four stars. Would invest again.
Steve Martin
Comedian, Connoisseur of Fine Conferences
The leaderboard countdown. The allocation tension. The Grant's mysterious origin story. ShitCon has more narrative arc than most of my films. I couldn't write a better third act.
Steven Spielberg
Film Director, Amblin
You will invest. You will laugh. You will question what's real. The Grant calls from the basement. And yes — the basement is definitely haunted. I'd buy a ticket.
Stephen King
Author, Master of Horror
A conference that stores its primary asset in a subterranean chamber while maintaining the gravitas of a FTSE 100 boardroom. One can't help but admire the audacity. It's deliciously absurd.
Stephen Fry
Actor, Writer, Wit
It's like building the Apple I in a garage, except the garage is a conference hall and the computer is a Grant that keeps making eye contact. I'm genuinely curious.
