​The Pitch of Finland - "Turn the Investor Chair"

⏰ Apply by August 28th, only 8 spots, and they'll go fast.

​Eight startups. Two rounds of four. Ninety seconds on the clock per pitch. Four angel investors on the panel — and a room full of existing and future investors watching. This is the hottest room this year.

​Here's how it works: after every pitch, each investor decides independently whether to keep the conversation going. If they do, they turn their chair, and we spend up to five minutes digging in with whoever turned.

​A turned chair isn't a check, it's not even a promise. But it's not nothing. When an investor turns their chair, they're committing an hour of their time and two introductions from their own network, win or lose.

​And every so often, you might see something rarer than a chair turn — an investor convinced enough to lead the round and build a syndicate on the spot. We won't tell you what that looks like in advance. Just pay attention.

​📌 Prep tip:
Practice a YC-style 90-second pitch; problem, solution, traction, and why now - delivered with voice alone.
No deck to lean on, so the story has to carry itself.
