Founder brief
Who should attend
Startup founders looking to connect directly with active institutional capital will find value in this gathering. It caters to innovators seeking exposure across multiple sectors, as well as senior operators aiming to build relationships with decision-makers from across the UK investment ecosystem.
What happens
Festivities start at 19:00 with champagne and live music before guests move to the main hall for a keynote address and a seated dinner service. The formal schedule provides a structured setting for conversation alongside remarks from featured speakers Howard Dawber OBE and Paul Taylor.
Who's in the room
Over three hundred attendees will fill the venue, representing one hundred venture capital firms alongside corporate innovators and ecosystem leaders. You can anticipate sharing tables with institutional investors, senior decision-makers, and prominent ecosystem leaders like Howard Dawber OBE, Deputy Mayor and Chair of London & Partners.
How to prepare
Adhere strictly to the black-tie dress code so you fit the formal tone of the evening. Given the seated dinner and gala format, refine a conversational, non-transactional introduction rather than a fast pitch, focusing on your startup's core vision and recent operational milestones.
