Manhattan’s Startup Workshop Pitches in SoHo

SoHo hustled last night with Manhattan’s Startup Workshop, funding NYC’s spring at a Spring Street loft. Founder Mia Chen coached 40 on decks, a $25 class for venture dreams. It’s borough bucks—pure SoHo vibe, stakes hot. A kid mocked a pitch; a pro nailed a slide. ‘Manhattan builds—this is it,’ Chen says, tweaking charts. The room turned boardroom.

The shop’s fresh—April 3’s start, it doubled since RSVPs, packing seats by 6 p.m. Chen’s a LES hustler; last night’s crowd hit max—ideas flew. A latecomer nabbed a spot; feedback buzzed—NYC grit glowed. Mock deals hit $10K—startups ruled. #SoHoStartup trended; Brooklyn’s jealous.

Some griped—’Too tough,’ sniped a newbie, dodging critiques. Lights dimmed—fixed quick; hustle held. A rival’s pitching a Chelsea class, splitting decks. Still, 50 stayed—pitches reigned. SoHo’s never pitched so bold.

Chen’s teasing a pitch night, maybe a fund if spring bites. ‘NYC’s next—this sparks it,’ she says, packing slides. The shop’s a Manhattan win—grit meets green. It’s a startup rush; join the next. Bring a plan—cash calls.
