Let’s go!
March demo night with the Canopy Community sees reverse pitches from 6 investors.
Huge thanks to our Venue Partners Idea Space for the amazing space to host this event.
On 15 March, Core Angels, Draper Startup House, Teal Impact, Evolution, Vis Caeli and Shilling take the opportunity to share their stories.
They will each have 5 minutes to share a reverse pitch and then up to 5 mins Q&A with the panel and the audience.
Our primary goal this month is EMPATHY.
From this gathering we want every Founder to see how Investors think about things and how they make decisions. We want everyone in the ecosystem to see how their ideas match with what Investors are looking for, how to apply for funding and most importantly when is the right time to speak to each Investor.
We strive for this special edition of #DemoNightLx to be the start of a dialogue between the Founders and Investors that are present.
The #3 reason startups fail globally is not having the right amount of money at the right time. The relationship between Founders and Capital Allocators is fundamental to the startup journey. #WinWin
With our panel to bring their views and kick-start discussion, we stir the sopa of serendipity. Then with the audience and contributors from the live stream, we add some extra seasoning and bring to the boil.
Sometimes the questions, discussions and feedback can miss the point. Sometimes they are spot on. Sometimes this can be painful to watch. Opening out to this kind of discussion is not a straightforward process. Never has it failed to help though.
#DemoNightLx is a safe space for all this to happen. This demo night, just like every demo night we have run, is not a confrontational moment. It’s a learning opportunity. We all learn from the shares that take place, and it’s done in the spirit of support and help. It’s done within a trusting community.
It’s also an amazing moment to come together as a community in person, IN REAL LIFE and break bread. To build friendships as well as serendipity in the best way we know how.
Here’s our hosting team
Bringing experience of many companies and roles, these panellists will kick start the discussions and get the first questions in there. They will also proactively provide introductions and connections for Investors and Founders to help them on their journey.
