Startup Investment Afternoon 11.09 OWOW x G&A
OWOW HQ, Fuutlaan 14e, Eindhoven, NLLAST 20 SPOTS LEFT - register through the link below.
OWOW Venture Studio and Gerard & Anton are hosting the second Startup Investment Afternoon on September 11, with a lineup we're properly proud of.
Location: OWOW office, Fuutlaan 14E Eindhoven
Time: 16:00 - 20:00Some questions about raising investment just can't be looked up online. So we're putting a pitch coach, two investors and the Brainport ecosystem in one room in Eindhoven, and reviewing pitch decks that gets sent in, same as last time.
The lineup
David Beckett (Pitch to Win) on the investor pitch. How a pitch meeting actually works, how to get into the 8% who get invited back, and how to stand out now that anyone can generate a deck in an afternoon.Robin Dohmen (OWOW) on building a winning investor deck with AI. Which parts it can draft, which parts only you can answer, and how to get to something that is actually yours in a fraction of the time this used to take. David owns the moment the deck is on screen, Robin owns everything before that.
Lotte Smit van Ditshuizen (Arches Capital) and Meron Mekonnen (LUMO Labs) in a panel and Q&A. Early-stage angel syndicate against impact venture capital, and what each side actually reads first when they open your deck.
Bert-Jan Woertman (Gerard & Anton) on the Brainport ecosystem. What is happening in it, and how to use it.
Who it's for
Founders raising now or raising soon. Bring the question you have been too polite to ask an investor.Send us your pitch deck when you sign up and we'll review it. We did that last edition and we're doing it again.
