Built around the rules of the season

Built for both sides of a sponsorship.

Coaches and companies each get a workspace shaped around what they actually do.

Pitch every approved sponsor from one team account

Verify your team once, upload one deck, and every approved company is a pitch away. Each pitch goes through the same four stages, and you can see exactly where it is.

Help from real people, when you need it

Review notes. When a pitch needs work, a reviewer sends it back with a note on exactly what to fix.

How review works

Email support. Write to ftcexodius@gmail.com and a person on the team answers, usually the same day.

Email us

Report a page. Anyone can report a team page. A reviewer looks at every report and takes down anything that shouldn’t be there.

Read the rules

Give your company an inbox of screened, specific pitches

Write the questions you care about and let approved teams answer them. Every pitch is read by a reviewer before it reaches you, and you answer each one with a click.

Run sponsorship as a team, not a spreadsheet

Every coach, mentor or colleague on the account sees the same pitches, the same notes and the same answers. One owner, any number of editors, and a notification for everything.

One shared account. A team or company is one account. Everyone on it works from the same pitches and the same inbox.

I coach a team

Owner and editors. One owner invites, removes and hands ownership on. Editors can do everything else.

Nothing fails silently. Every action writes an in-app notification. Email is a copy, queued and rate-limited, never the only record.

Frequently asked questions

Your team page (name, number, logo, summary and deck) is public. A pitch’s answers go only to the company you pitched, after review. Names, emails and phone numbers are shared only when a company says Interested, and only between that team and that company.

FTC Pitfund FAQQuestion 1 of 8

The FTC Pitfund reviewers, run by FTC Team 31579 Exodius. They read every pitch before a company sees it and either send it on or return it with a note saying what to fix. They also approve each company before teams can pitch it.

FTC Pitfund FAQQuestion 2 of 8

Yes, for teams and companies. FTC Pitfund never handles money: when a company is interested, you arrange the sponsorship directly with each other.

FTC Pitfund FAQQuestion 3 of 8

No. Accounts are for adults: coaches, mentors and parents who handle sponsorship. Students don’t need an account to be represented; the team page and deck speak for the team.

FTC Pitfund FAQQuestion 4 of 8

The reviewer sends it back with a note on what to fix. It isn’t a rejection: you edit and resubmit, and it goes back to the front of the review queue.

FTC Pitfund FAQQuestion 5 of 8

Whoever uploads a deck confirms they have permission to share any photos of people in it. Anyone can report a team page, and a reviewer takes down anything that shouldn’t be there.

FTC Pitfund FAQQuestion 6 of 8

Double-check your team number against FIRST’s own records first, since a typo is the most common cause. If it still doesn’t match, email us and a reviewer will look into it by hand.

FTC Pitfund FAQQuestion 7 of 8

No. FTC Pitfund is an independent project built by FTC Team 31579 Exodius. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by FIRST®.
