Demo Day Pitching and VC Speed Dating
We know how hard it is to get funding for builders and how exhausting scouting projects can be for investors in this bear market. This is why we will offer founders and builders at the conference a unique opportunity to present 5 minutes in front of a VC audience during our Pitch Day on the 20th of April. On the 21st, you will talk face to face with VCs that selected you using our custom booking app.
Pitch Day
- Founders:
- - you get 5 minutes to pitch and demo your project in front of a VC audience
- VCs:
- - Sit down and relax while listening to founders pitching.
- - Book your favorite founders for a meeting using our app.
- Schedule: April 20th, 10:00am-4:30pm
- Includes breakfast, lunch and coffee breaks
VC Speed Dating
- Founders and VCs:
- - you get 5-10 minutes to talk face to face
- - VCs only meet with pre-booked founders of interest
- - zero commission: any deal that happens at ETHDubai is yours and goes 100% to founders, no middle man.
- Schedule: April 21st, 10:00am-6:30pm
- Includes breakfast, lunch and coffee breaks
