Pitching to investors or corporates is like speed-dating: you’ve only got a few minutes to spark interest, answer tough questions, and leave them wanting more.

And even if you’re not on stage, World Summit AI means back-to-back meetings with VCs and potential clients. Let’s get ready together.

Together with Qonto, B/ACE Global (formerly DutchBasecamp) is hosting a Pitch Practice Night before the World Summit AI. A safe and supportive space where founders practice with founders and get real feedback. The event is also open to ecosystem players, investors, and anyone curious about Amsterdam’s AI scene who wants to watch, learn, and connect.

What to expect:

⚡ 10–15 selected startups pitching for 3 minutes each⚡ Live feedback from fellow founders + a professional pitch coach⚡ A keynote from a VC on what they actually look for in a pitch⚡ And our favourite part: drinks & networking

🚀 Founders who want to apply to pitch can submit pitch decks to us through this form.
