Calling all Investors, we warmly welcome you to attend our networking and pitching event in Ssshheffield: the secret Startup capital of the UK!

What is no secret that there is an incredible array of talent in the Sheffield Startup ecosystem. We house some of the greatest cultures of innovation, collaboration and entrepreneurship in the whole country and we would argue Sheffield is fast becoming the Startup capital of the UK.

It is also no secret that recently Sheffield has been overlooked for national investment and has struggled to bridge the gap between itself and London.

The concept of this event is to bring 50 Investors and 50 Founders for an afternoon of Pitch-Practice and Networking.

We will hear the 6x 10-minute pitch decks and 12x 60-second lightning pitches from some of the top currently raising Startups in Sheffield. The event will have an hour of networking with two hours of Pitching and Q&A with the audience and a panel. After the event, we have organised an informal drink in the Sheffield Tap, a pub located near the train station.

Sheffield is home to an incredible hub of Startup activity. Specialising in Deep-Tech, AI, Cyber-Physical, Med-Tech, and Industry 4.0 solutions, Sheffield is home to leading innovation and 100x opportunities.
