This is a great way to engage with market-ready cleantech businesses in a highly constructive environment. See some testimonials about the day from previous presenters, funds and sponsors here!
“Very well put together. Greenbackers process, organization, and follow up strategies are something I wish more pitch events put in place! I look forward to attending more of these.” Evan Cummings, Investment Manager, Centrica Ventures
“It’s amazing! It’s one of the best venture and investors matching events ever. I had a really good time and I spoke with six to eight investors. They’re all very interested in what we do. Amazing!“ Xiaoyan Ma, CEO, Danu Robotics (Presenter)
For Investors: you’ll meet investment-ready companies, selected by the Greenbackers team, for deals in climate, cleantech and circular economy. Pitching companies are hand-picked by Greenbackers and selected on the basis of: innovation, team, impact, vision and most importantly, commercial viability.
Once again for 2025 and by popular demand: a “Speed Dating” session has been added to our traditional pitch event format on the day! Greenbackers events always offer investors high quality in-person pitches and the opportunity to network with a peer-group of verified investment funds. Now we offer one-to-one investor meetings in a speed dating type format in advance of the pitches. It’s great!
The speed dating element offers the opportunity for deeper engagement with each founder and allows a fast assessment of how well each venture fits your criteria. Venture pitch decks will be available for review 2 weeks in advance of the event, allowing pre-selection of ventures (or even fellow funds) to meet with one-to-one on the day. Important Investor Note: Due to space and time constraints, speed dating is limited to the first 20 funds who register, so confirm your desire to participate ASAP to secure your slot!
For Entrepreneurs: not only will you meet pre-qualified, serious investors who focus on the sector and are looking to talent spot market-ready ‘up and comers’, but you will also get 6-12 months* of fundraising support from Greenbackers, introducing you to an even bigger audience of many hundreds of funds:
- Venture Capital and Corporate Venture Firms
- Family Offices and Impact Investment Funds
- EIS/SEIS Tax Funds and VCTs (UK only)
- Government Funds including Aid & Development Funds
- Business Angels and Syndicates
Entrepreneurs, please note: this event is for Greenbackers client ventures, and is part of an overall program of funding support. See Standard Terms & Apply.
