Startup Pitch Roast {Summer BBQ edition}

​The founders-investors relations are often formal: smothered by endless back-and-forth emails, stuck in data rooms and wrapped in uptight negotiations. It can sometimes feel like there’s no air: so this time we’re taking the Pitch Roast outside.

​The VCs are going to put in more focus on who you’re as a founder, what challenges have you encountered and how you solved them (but you’ll still have the opportunity to go over all the metrics and financials after the Roast!).

​Instead of figuring a short-list of “winners”, we’ll leave the time for founders’ questions and freely talking to investors: asking them about their values, the niches that they find exciting as well as their no-go’s. This way we’re hoping to have more of a light Summer BBQ — rather than a Roast.
