Applications are now OPEN for Ski Lift Pitch 2026!
Entrepreneurs and investors know the elevator pitch—but in New Mexico, we prefer elevations over elevators.
Ski Lift Pitch brings standout founders together with world-class VCs for an unforgettable pitch experience at 10,000+ feet. No elevators involved. Not the usual kind, anyway.
With support from this year’s Platinum Sponsors—the Outdoor Recreation Division and the Technology Innovation Office of NMEDD—we’re inviting pre-seed and seed-stage startups, both in and beyond New Mexico, to apply.
Ready to pitch at altitude?
