01The problem

Investors don't come to tradeshows. They come to filtered rooms.

No curation, no VCs.

An investor lounge with a coffee machine attracts service providers, not partners. Funds come for a pre-qualified pipeline, or not at all.

Startups notice.

"Which investors will be there?" is the first question every founder asks before buying a booth. No good answer, no sale.

Nobody owns it.

Investor relations falls between sponsorship, programming and the startup area - so it belongs to no one and happens by accident.

Investors are the cheapest attendee segment to acquire - if the room is curated. And they're the multiplier on everything else you sell.

02The day

A curated day, not a lounge with coffee.

Investor sourcing

VCs and corporate funds matched to your verticals from our 35k network - invited, briefed, confirmed.

Guided tours

Curated walking routes through the village and the floor - the startups worth their time, pre-selected.

Speed meetings

Pre-matched 15-minute slots between funds and founders. Both sides opt in; only mutual matches book.

Awards & content

Jury seats, award categories and recorded sessions that give funds a public reason to attend.

03The record

Ten years of villages, boosters and investor days.

The programmes we run or have run, and what each one proves. Ask for the per-show breakdown on the call.

Being recognized by the JEC jury - composed of industry leaders - proves that our approach has the potential to truly disrupt how structures are built.

Match

Startup–investor matching opens; both sides pick; the schedule builds itself.

Show day

Run

Tours, speed meetings, awards, recorded panel. Post-show: intro follow-ups tracked.

A programme fee - or a partner slot that pays for it. Investor day partner is the most-renewed sponsorship we sell.
