Blogger and venture journalist Donna Bogatin will host a StartupAlpha pitch meet and tech connection party 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. August 12 at the Midtown Pub, 8 East 36th Street, NYC.

Read more about the event here.

The meet is free to members of Bogatin's Startupalpha.com pitch community on line where bootstrap entrepreneurs can create a "pitch profile" for their venture at no cost. Others can attend the event for a fee of $10 and all must RSVP.

Members will have an opportunity to pitch their idea to fellow entrepreneurs and members of the entrepreneurial community during individual two minute presentations and all presenters must be pre-confirmed before the event.

Despite a background as an International investment banker, Bogatin continues to champion bootstrap entrepreneurship via her blog Startup Chatter, particularly Web 2.0 startups from Silicon Alley, NYC's growing tech entrepreneurship community.
