About this Event

What is it?

An evening designed for founders to hear directly from the people writing the cheques. We're bringing together Pre-Seed, Seed, and Series A funders to share their take on Scotland's innovation funding landscape and what 2026 has in store.


What can I expect?

Hear directly from Pre-Seed, Seed, and Series A funders, including Maven, PXN Group and Puma Growth Partners, as they pitch to you: sharing their perspectives on the current funding environment, what they're actively investing in, and their predictions for the year ahead. Discover what makes each investor unique, the value they bring beyond capital, and get the inside track on what to do (and what to avoid) when raising your next round.

Founders will also hear from PGR Advisory on what other innovation funding support is available to help accelerate their innovations.

You'll have the chance to put your questions directly to the panel, at a relaxed mixer with food and drinks, giving you plenty of time to build relationships and spark conversations that could shape your funding journey in the months to come.


Where is this taking place?

This event will take place at CodeBase Edinburgh, 37a Castle Terrace, Edinburgh, EH1 2EL.


Who will be there?

You will be joined by fellow founders, CodeBase community members, investors, and members of the CodeBase team.
