🦓 ZU London x Mission Studio by Nesta: ⏮️ Reverse Pitches with Mission Studio, Carbon13 and Zinc

UPDATE 1: ⚠️ Event full (for now...) as we explore options for a bigger space. Join the waiting list and stay tuned ⚠️
Tired of being the one to pitch as a founder? 💤
Zebras Unite London and Nesta Mission Studio are flipping the script.
Join us at our official Sifted Summit side show on Wednesday 8th October at Nesta’s Blackfriars offices for a reverse pitch night, putting the spotlight on talent investors and venture studios.
Picture this: instead of entrepreneurs desperately trying to impress investors, these impact-focused accelerators and venture builders will be showcasing their programs, explaining what they're looking for, and essentially wooing the talent in the room. You’ll hear from:
🚀 Nesta Mission Studio: Nesta's in-house venture studio, working with founders to create startups that solve society's biggest problems, from scratch
🌍 Carbon13: the venture builder where founders team up to launch startups designed to cut carbon emissions at scale, starting from zero.
🧬 Zinc: the venture builder for founders applying science and research to create startups that tackle fundamental social challenges, from mental health to longevity.
Each brings a completely different flavor to the impact space, so whether you're interested in social innovation, climate action, or systemic change, there's something here for you.
And of course, there’ll be ample opportunity to catch up over drinks and networking afterwards...
Come curious, leave inspired (and possibly with your next big opportunity). We'll be at the stunning Victoria Embankment location - perfect for those post-event riverside walks where all the best ideas seem to crystallize.
🦓 Join the dazzle for drinks, networking, and the rare chance to have organisations compete for your attention rather than the other way around.
