In this interactive session, the traditional startup pitch format is turned on its head. Rather than founders pitching investors, a leading venture capitalist takes the stage to share what they are actively looking for in today's market, how investment decisions are made and what separates standout startups from the rest.

Joining the discussion will be a panel of startup founders, who will challenge the investor with the questions they really want answered. Together, they will explore fundraising strategies, common mistakes founders make when seeking investment and the key qualities investors look for when backing early-stage businesses.

Offering candid insights from both sides of the table, this session provides startups with a rare opportunity to better understand the investor mindset and learn how to position themselves for funding and long-term growth.
