Reversed Pitch Night (Invite only)
Founders pitch. Investors listen. That's how it always goes.
Not tonight.
For one evening, we're turning the table around. Our portfolio founders take their seats, pour a glass, and lean back. Our VC friends stand up and pitch. To them.
Why should a founder pick you? What do you actually do after the money hits the account? What happens when things get hard? You've got a few minutes and a room full of people who have heard every pitch in the book, because they've given most of them.
Who's at the table
Our portfolio companies. The founders building deeptech in Groningen and Emmen, turning research into companies and ideas into things that work.
Our VC friends. Some we've known for years, some we met last month. All of them people we'd happily sit next to at dinner. That's the whole selection criterion.
What you'll get
Dinner. Honest pitches. Questions nobody usually dares to ask out loud. Conversations that don't stop when dessert arrives. And a jury of founders who decide who pitched it best.
Investors, a heads up
No decks. No hockey sticks. Just you, your story, and why you're worth a founder's time. Bring your best.
Founders, your job is easy
Eat well. Ask hard questions. Enjoy the view from the other side.
Why we do this
At FTV, it's all about our founders. Choosing an investor is one of the biggest decisions they'll ever make. They deserve to be pitched to as seriously as they pitch.
