We look for Concept stage, Launch stage, and Pre-seed stage companies to mentor and invest in. This entire program is Virtual Online.
The program flow: 1-minute pitch (60 startups; 3-minute pitch (24 startups); 10-minute pitch (12 startups); Investor and startup coffee meetings; Due diligence on 6 startups; Final virtual public event where we announce the winner(s); Transfer of funds.
Application Deadline August 18th, 2026.
The program for founders starts on September 1st, 2026 (first pitch to investors) and ends on May 20th (winner receiving the investment). On the last day of the program, there is a public presentation (Demo Day) and an official announcement of the winner.
In this 3 months process, the startup and investors meet regularly, get to know each other, and have a thorough check and feedback session by the Angel Investor team. The process includes 3 pitch days (1-minute, 3-minute, and 10-minute) and due diligence + final meeting. After every pitch day, the investors select the startups that pass to the next stage.
The assumption is that all companies that apply to this are prepared to participate in the workshops, due diligence, and having the business presented as a part of the conference event. It is also expected that companies that apply will have prepared a data room for the due diligence phase.
