We had an online pitching event on July 7th, 2021. Our goal was to create an opportunity for startup founders to meet active investors interested in startup companies, looking for funds.
Our investors actively look for startups that are at different stages – from very early (idea) level startups to companies that have already managed to generate revenue and are looking to expand and getting to the next level.
We created this as a completely virtual event. We aim to have different investors on our panels at different events, to increase the exposure of the startups we present.
Events are currently organized once a month, but we have serious ambitions to organize these events every week.
StartupBrite event is not a competition. This event is strictly down to business, pitching to investors looking for funds for your startup.
The Pitching Process
We recognize that the minimum time needed to be able to reasonably pitch an idea is no less than 5 minutes. We give founders 5 minutes to pitch their idea to our investors and we need to admit that it is a difficult task.
We give the investors the opportunity to ask questions immediately after a founder’s pitch. The Q & Q is also limited to 5 minutes.
Sometimes we allow for a startup to pitch a bit longer borrowing time from the following Q & A session. Of course, we need to be fair to all startups, so we make sure all companies don’t exceed the 10 minutes mark.
After we are done with the pitches from all startups, we assign investors to separate breakout rooms to continue with more personalized conversations with the founders. Founders choose which room they want to join and spend time with the investors in that room.
