30 hand picked teams from Cambridge building in Ai will pitch their start-ups at the virtual DemoDay to 180+ European VCs and 100+ Angels.
The event is open to all VC's and Angel investors looking to fund exceptional teams on day 1. While some start-ups are pre-revenue - others have already found product-market fit and are growing rapidly.
One thing in common: all are looking for additional funding to accelerate their growth and become the unicorn of tomorrow.
Investors:
We now have over 180+ VC's participating, including investors from: EQT, Passion Capital, Northzone, Breega, Nauta, DN Capital and more! As well as 100+ angel investors!
Format:
In a Y-combinator style DemoDay start-ups will be given 4 minutes to pitch their project.
Viewers online will be given a chance to "express interest" on the spot bringing an energetic shark-tank approach to the event.
A one pager on each company will be circulated on the day of the event with business metrics and contact details of each start-up.
We will mix in short keynotes from partners in VC in between pitches.
