New for 2024: “Speed Dating” feature added to our traditional pitch event format this May!
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 of the event 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, the speed dating element is limited to a maximum of 20 funds, so it’s important you confirm your desire to participate ASAP when you register.
For Entrepreneurs: not only do 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 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.
