Reverse Pitch Event 2025

Hear from the investors

Following on from our successful Investment Summit in July where 8 tech firms pitched to investors, the RTC is now organising a ‘reverse pitch’. This time the investors are on the stage. Hear them pitch.

Learn about different investment stages and approaches. Get great tips to improve your investment plan and pitch.

Firms will cover their investment criteria and process, sector focus, and the metrics and KPIs they look for. They’ll explain how they differ from each other in stage, profile and needs. They’ll even share tips for tech firms to be more successful when pitching for investment.

You’ll hear from a cross section of leading angel, private equity, venture capital and corporate finance investors.

Each speaker gets 10 mins with 5 mins for audience Q&A. Plus time at end for networking over tea and coffee.

Confirmed speakers are from YFM, Maven, FSE Group, BGF, LDC, Henley Business Angels and Barclays.

Event organiser and co-founder of the RTC, Dr Keith Arundale explains: “This is an excellent opportunity for local tech businesses who are seeking equity or debt finance to drive growth to hear first-hand from our local investors what they need from you in a winning investment pitch.”

Important note: RTC members only (register interest to join today here). Spaces limited to 40 tech firm founders and executive leaders (one per organisation).
