London Startup Pitch Competition with Angel Investors and VCs
Entrepreneurs Collective brings together ambitious founders, angel investors, family offices and VCs through curated startup events in London.
Our pitch nights at Home House Studio are designed to be focused, practical and commercially relevant. Clear founder pitches, direct investor feedback and relaxed conversation with people actively involved in early stage capital.
Past EC pitchers include founders who have gone on to feature on Dragons' Den, scale globally and define new categories.

For founders
This event is for pre seed and seed stage founders looking to meet investors, improve their fundraising narrative and understand how angels and VCs respond to live pitches.
Founders interested in pitching should be post MVP and generating first revenues. SEIS eligible startups are prioritised, as the tax relief can make them especially attractive to angels and family offices in the room.
Pitch slots are limited and selection is competitive. Apply via the founder form here.
For investors
If you are actively writing cheques at pre seed or seed, this is a focused way to meet the next cohort of London founders in one room.
You will hear live pitches, ask direct questions and leave with a shortlist worth following up.
