​Beyond the pitch: live investor feedback

​Launching a startup, working on an early project, or trying to figure out how to go from zero to raising your first round?
Mark your calendar, this event is for you!

​... and it's part of the official side events calendar of Wave by Vento.

​A 100% practical, value-driven format split into two clear phases:

• ​PART 1: Pitch & Challenge

  • ​Pre-seed startups take the stage to present their MVPs.

  • ​Investors ask direct questions to test the founders, while the audience listens in and joins the Q&A.

• ​PART 2: Investor Open Talk

  • ​Investors step up to break down how they evaluated each startup.

  • ​A transparent, open discussion on what convinced them, what didn't, their main hesitations, and where the startups truly excelled.

​It’s a unique opportunity to understand how investors think, which key metrics and aspects matter most to them, and the exact evidence they look for: so you can learn, refine your strategy, and be ready when it’s your turn on stage.

​This isn't a traditional investor day; it's a 100% learning masterclass, true to the spirit of the venue hosting it.
