London Startup Speed Pitching: Meet Angel Investors & VCs Face-to-Face

Meet active angel investors, early-stage VCs and family offices at a curated startup fundraising event near Bank in the City of London.

Hosted by Entrepreneurs Collective with Alator Capital, London Startup Speed Pitch brings together five to six selected pre-seed and seed-stage founders with approximately 15 to 20 investors for focused, small-group conversations.

Unlike a traditional startup pitch competition, there is no stage, screen or lengthy presentation. Each founder presents their business several times, rotating between investor groups and answering questions after every pitch.

The emphasis is on clarity, investor relevance and meaningful conversations.

Date: Tuesday 29 September 2026
Time: 6.00pm to 9.00pm
Location: Central London

The event will take place in a private event space at a central City of London venue. The exact location and arrival instructions will only be shared with confirmed attendees.

• Five to six selected startup founders
• Approximately 15 to 20 angel investors, early-stage VCs and family offices
• Three-minute founder pitch
• Three-minute investor Q&A
• Founders rotate between each investor group
• Informal drinks and networking afterwards

Please arrive on time, as the pitching rotations will begin promptly.

This event is designed for post-MVP businesses with early commercial traction that are actively raising or preparing to raise.

It is particularly suited to startups that:

• Are EIS eligible
• Are already generating revenue
• Can demonstrate meaningful commercial traction
• Are raising at pre-seed or seed stage
• Are seeking up to £250,000 from participating investors

The total fundraising round may be larger where the remaining investment has already been pledged.

• Family offices
• Early-stage venture capital investors

All registrations are reviewed to protect the quality and relevance of the room. Participation does not guarantee investment.
