80 founders who have raised more than £50,000 meet 40 active angel investors looking for their next opportunity.
Experience this legendary monthly event for yourself, which has proven incredibly successful for founders to raise funding through our curated, targeted networking, stage-pitching, and insightful panels. All of which build meaningful connections and expand our community of action-based founders and investors.
