What are RetroPitches?
RetroPitches are fun, friendly competitions where RetroPGF applicants present their projects and participants rank their pitches. These games give public goods creators a great opportunity to promote their RetroPGF grant and provide citizens with an easy way to learn about exciting projects in the Optimism Collective.
The first season of these innovative public goods games occured throughout the third round of RetroPGF. Each participating project gets up to five minutes to pitch their grant. You’re also welcome to join an hour earlier to play the Respect Game at Optimism Fractal, which also provides many benefits for RetroPGF grantees and citizens of Optimism.
You can learn more about RetroPitches in the announcement post. Everyone is welcome to join the events and help determine the winners of the game. You can join on the event page and share the intro tweet to help spread the word. We looking forward to seeing your pitches and hope you enjoy the events! 🔴 ✨
