Our July pitching event was received very well by our investors and all the startups at the event said it was something they enjoyed a lot and helped them connect with investors.
Our team wanted to provide an opportunity for startup founders to pitch in front of investors in our network to expand their outreach and be introduced to active investors.
The types of companies presenting at our August online event vary from very early-stage startups (idea stage) to startups with established customers looking to boost their growth.
We continue to organize these events once a month while working on the details and improving our process to be able to organize these events every week.
The Pitching Process
We decided to stick to the original pitching process that we used at our July pitching event – founders have 5 minutes to present their startups and then we offer another 5 minutes for the Q & A session with the investors. This seems to be working well and founders really appreciate the immediate feedback they receive from the investors.
Some founders exceed the 5 minutes limit set for their pitching opportunity, but we try to be flexible (but fair) and in such cases, we reduce the Q & A session to make sure we don’t dedicate more than 10 minutes per startup.
Founders seem to like the opportunity to talk to investors one-on-one in the individual break-out rooms that we create for each investor after all startups finish their pitching. This idea seems to be very well accepted and we plan to continue with it.
