What Is SpeedFunding™?

SpeedFunding™ is unique. There is no other place where you would be able to individually pitch your business idea to a selection of Angel Investors in one evening and have the opportunity to talk directly to a Business Angel.

The concept is rather like Speed Dating. You will be given the opportunity to pitch your business for 3 minutes to one Angel at a time. The Angel will ask you relevant questions before you move straight on to the next Investor.

The magic of SpeedFunding™ is the ability to build rapport with each Angel and tailor your pitch to their level of expertise, in a more friendly and personable environment.

We launched SpeedFunding™ in the UK in May 2008 and this resulted in thousands of Angel/entrepreneur follow up meetings and great feedback.

What happens afterwards?
After the SpeedFunding™ event you have the chance to chat in a relaxed atmosphere with Angels. This is where you get feedback, network and arrange your next meeting with any interested Angels.  

Who is SpeedFunding™ for?
SpeedFunding™ is great for anyone who is serious about getting funding quickly. If you are an established or high tech business you may also be eligible for one of our Angel Clubs. Alternatively if you are raising more than £250k or $400k you may want to consider sending out a Custom Email which is a quick and effective way to reach the maximum number of Angels.

How do I make sure I get it right?
When we meet you we will give you advice on how best to present your business. As soon as you have selected your Investment Package we will send you details of what to include in your Pitch, guide you through preparing your Summary and Plan and train you at Pitching School.  

How do I get to meet all these Investors?
View our Pitching Events to see when our events are running in your region. Once you have discussed which event is most suitable for you with your Regional Manager, log onto your account to select the package and event you'd like to attend. We sell out each month in most regions so you'll need to be speedy!
Sponsors of SpeedFunding™ Events
