We’re thrilled to share that Thimble has been selected as one of the seven finalists in the NBA All-Star 2026 Pitch Competition, following the semifinals hosted in Los Angeles. This milestone puts us on stage alongside other visionary founders as part of the NBA Foundation’s mission to elevate local entrepreneurs driving innovation and community impact.
Since 2022, the NBA and NBA Foundation have invested nearly $500,000 in local entrepreneurs in NBA All-Star Cities. This year, in collaboration with the Los Angeles Clippers, the competition is supported by Amplitude, American Express, Westbound Equity and Connect Ventures.
“As a company focused on helping teams build products people love, we are showing exactly what is possible when vision meets opportunity,” said Tanya Littlefield, VP of Growth Marketing, Amplitude.
Advancing to the finals is an exciting moment for our team and a meaningful opportunity to share Thimble’s story on a larger stage. The experience has already connected us with an inspiring community of founders, mentors, and leaders who believe in the importance of innovation rooted in purpose. We’re grateful for the support from the NBA Foundation, the LA Clippers, and everyone who believes in Thimble’s mission — and we’re excited to bring our pitch to the finals on February 12, 2026.
