Pitch My Wallet #9

Frog Valley is pleased to start 2020 with its 9th edition of Pitch My Wallet, for a tech venture pitching event jointly organised with Columbia Business School Alumni London Club !!!

Pitch My Wallet is a series of pitching events where chosen founders pitch to a panel of experienced investors. Typically per event we choose four startups who are looking to raise  £250k to £5m to pitch to four Venture Capitalists and Angel investors.

The principle is simple:
We aim to host pitches from a short list of pre-selected founding teams. Each company will have 5 minutes to pitch followed by 5 minutes of Q&A from the panel. On average we receive between 40 to 50 pitch decks so the competition is fierce. For this event we are aiming to close the selection process a week ahead of the event and meet the 5 lucky startups. TBC but we are also planning to organise a workshop for the selected startups to help them on their pitch to have a bigger impact on the day and for other pitching opportunities.  

The panel consisting of 4 experienced investors from leading Venture Capital funds and investment funds is now confirmed:

Thomas Cuvelier, Partner at Alven

Thomas Depuydt,  Partner at SmartFin

Hélène Alunni-Botteri, SVP at  Wells Fargo Startup Accelerator

Alex Leigh,  Investor at Development Bank of Wales 

At our last events we have hosted Forward Partners, Finch Capital, Talis Capital, NJF Capital, Mustard Seed, Oxford Capital, Ascension Ventures, SppedInvest and more 

Please note for this edition we have limited capacity of 80 attendees.

Pitch MyWallet is a great opportunity to network with like-minded entrepreneurs, meet investors and discover new ideas. And for those we are planning to raise funds, this is a good insights on what to expect and the challenge to face.
