London Tech Startup Founders Pitch Competition with Angel & VC Investors

Join Entrepreneurs Collective at Home House Studio on Thursday 15 October for our London Tech Startup Pitch Competition.
Hear selected early-stage founders present their businesses, watch an experienced investor panel question their assumptions and connect with entrepreneurs and investors in Marylebone, London.
Whether you are preparing to raise investment or looking to discover emerging businesses, the evening offers a practical view of startup fundraising: how founders explain their traction, demonstrate market opportunity and make the case for investment.

Live tech startup pitches
Each selected founder will deliver a five-minute pitch covering their product, business model, market opportunity, traction and current raise, followed by investor questions.
Direct investor feedback
Hear how investors assess revenue, competitive advantage, valuation and growth. Take away ideas for strengthening your own pitch deck and preparing for fundraising conversations.
Founder and investor networking
Meet fellow startup founders, angel investors and venture capital professionals, with time for conversations before and after the competition.
Early-stage business discovery
For investors, the evening offers an opportunity to hear directly from founders, ask questions and continue conversations with companies of interest.

Founders who have pitched at Entrepreneurs Collective events include:

• Sam Jones, founder of Gener8, before his appearance on Dragons’ Den
• Chieu Cao, co-founder of Perkbox
• Emilie Vanpoperinghe, co-founder of Oddbox

These are past participants, not October’s line-up.

Matthew Milner, angel investor, startup adviser and pitch coach, will host the evening, guiding the pitches and investor discussions.
The judging panel and pitching companies will be announced ahead of the event.

• Tech startup founders and co-founders
• Entrepreneurs preparing for pre-seed or seed fundraising
• Founders looking to improve their pitch and understand the investor perspective
• Angel investors and VC investors exploring early-stage investment opportunities
• Family offices interested in emerging businesses
