Join Entrepreneurs Collective for this May's Hybrid Startup Pitch Competition on 26th of May, Live In-Person and broadcasted online via Zoom.

We’ll showcase some of UK's best startups pitching their ideas live to a panel of experienced investors and entrepreneurs. You will see both startup pitch and what investors really look for in a company.

Following the competition we will have a networking session in a Round Robin style, with angel investors and VCs in attendance. Don't miss the chance to meet and interact with fellow entrepreneurs and investors in an innovative format. Networking in Zoom rooms will take place after the main event for those online.

*Food and drinks will be available at the venue, included in the ticket price.

EC Pre-Seed, Seed and Series A members will be emailed the free ticket code to register separately. If you'd like to claim free access to events and other startup benefits, you can upgrade today here.
