Details

This fast-paced session flips the traditional panel, with investors taking the stage to pitch directly to founders. A curated mix of investors will each deliver a short “reverse pitch,” sharing what they’re actively looking for, what captures their attention, and why they say yes—or no. A moderated discussion will then unpack key themes, including common founder misconceptions, shifting proof points, and what signals real readiness for growth in today’s market. The session closes with a practical question: what would make an investor stay for a follow-up meeting? Designed to be candid and insight-driven, this session offers a clear, current view of how investors are thinking right now.
