The Reverse Pitch: VCs in the Hot Seat

This is not your typical startup pitch event.

Normally, founders pitch to investors.

This time, we’re flipping the script.

In a playful turn of events, the VCs will be taking the stage. We’re inviting three venture capital funds, spanning pre-seed to Series A, to pitch themselves to the room. They'll share who they invest in, how they work with founders, and what they’re looking for in a startup.

But we won't stop there. After presenting, each VC will be put on the spot by a panel of founders, answering the questions founders care about, live on stage. The goal is to create a space for honest, open conversation where there’s no hiding behind a deck and no rehearsed answers.

• 3 VCs pitching their fund
• Live Q&A led by a founder panel
• Open audience of founders, investors, and ecosystem players
• Drinks and networking after the session

This is your chance to:

• See how different VCs position themselves
• Understand how investors think and operate
• Meet the people shaping the climate tech ecosystem

And most importantly, be part of a fun evening that challenges the usual power dynamics in climate tech.
