Deal Taxi Pitch Night

🚕 Pitch. Connect. Celebrate.

On October 15, 2025, the BIRD Female Edition celebrates its finale in Berlin – supported by the Berlin Senate Department for Economics, Energy and Public Enterprises.

During the day, you can hop into the Dealtaxis and join two other investors for exclusive one-on-one sessions with our eight female founders. Experience their startups up close, ask questions, and become part of this new investor matching format.

Our Dealtaxi is sponsored by Nextmove.

In the evening, meet a curated circle of 50 investors and guests for pitches, networking, and inspiration – sponsored by Bethmann Bank and held in cooperation with Encourage Ventures and Female Capital.

Connect, exchange investment ideas, and take part in a live voting session to choose which startup impressed you most — or where you would have invested.
