In schedule and format this is similar to most pitching events, but the aim and outcome is very different.
The session is in the form of a more relaxed event where founders can learn what investors are looking for and at the same time learn how to ask and answer questions from different types of investors. It is also an opportunity for investors to interact with founders with the aim of mutual learning rather than focusing only on deals.
Teams will each deliver a 3 minute pitch to remind you what they are doing. 1-pagers will be sent to registered participants on the Wednesday afternoon before the event.
After the teams have pitched, Investors will each have 90 seconds each to explain why they are a better choice. A real opportunity to practice and test your reverse-pitch. We believe that this is also a place for less experienced investors to hear the questions more experienced Investors ask and to have an opportunity to practice giving advice and feedback to new entrepreneurs.
Once both groups have introduced themselves, it is time to mingle
Other members of your team are also more than welcome to join, just pick the appropriate amount of tickets.
