Pitches & Popcorn

Overview 

This initiative brings the Bentley community together for relaxed, engaging screenings that highlight real startup journeys and entrepreneurial stories. Instead of full-length films, sessions feature curated clips, short documentaries, and founder-focused content designed to inspire without the time commitment. Held periodically throughout the semester, Pitches & Popcorn is an easy, drop-in way to connect with other students interested in entrepreneurship, enjoy some food, and spark new ideas. You might meet a future collaborator, learn from a founder’s experience, or walk away with a fresh perspective on building something of your own.

No preparation required, just show up, watch, and get inspired. Pitches & Popcorn is one of the most accessible entry points into Bentley’s entrepreneurial community, offering a low-pressure, social way to engage with startup thinking and stories worth watching.
