Three steps, four minutes, one person at a time.
Sign in, join the queue, pitch. Here is each step, how we keep it safe, and the questions people ask first.
The three steps
Sign in
Enter your email and we send you a one-time link or code. There is no card and nothing to sign up for first.
Before your first pitch you tick that you are 18 or over and read the short terms line. Your sign-in stays on this site only.
Join the queue
Press Pitch. Your browser asks for the camera and the microphone, so allow both. If you say no, you see a plain message and can try again.
You are paired with the next attendee who is also waiting. If nobody is waiting yet you see a plain "waiting for someone" note. Close the page and you leave the queue.
Pitch for four minutes
You see and hear each other, with a countdown on screen. Say who you are, what you do and what you are after. Then listen: it is a two-way chat.
At 4:00 the call ends for both of you. Press Next to go back to the queue and meet someone new, or just leave.
Safety
18 or over
You must be 18 or over to use PitchXM, and you confirm it before your first pitch.
Report
Report anyone from the call. Reporting ends the call for you, and the report is read by our team.
Block
Block ends the call at once, and the two of you are never matched again.
No recording
MeridianXM does not record the video or the audio. Cloudflare carries the video.
You confirm you are 18 or over. This is a live video with one other signed-in person. MeridianXM does not record it. Cloudflare carries the video. You can report or block. Block stops this pair being matched again.
Questions
What does it cost?
Nothing. PitchXM is free to use. There is no card to enter.
Does it work on a phone or a laptop?
Both. Use Chrome on Android, Safari on iPhone, or a current browser on a laptop. You need a camera and a microphone.
The camera is blocked. What now?
If you opened the link inside another app (LinkedIn, Instagram, WhatsApp and similar), the camera is often switched off there. Open the page in Chrome or Safari instead: use the menu in that app and choose "Open in browser".
Is the call recorded?
No. MeridianXM does not record the video or the audio.
Who made PitchXM?
PitchXM is made by MeridianXM. It is not part of Web Summit, and Web Summit has not endorsed it.
