Round One Demo Day

​An exclusive evening showcasing Scotland’s next generation of Tech Founders

​Join us for an invite-only evening as we celebrate the first ever cohort of the Round One Investment Readiness Programme — a best-in-class initiative equipping Scotland’s most promising pre-seed startups with the tools, network, and confidence to raise their first round of investment.

​The programme, funded by the Ecosystem Fund and run in partnership with Dentons and RBS, has supported founders to prepare for raising investment, refine their strategy, and connect with investors from across the UK and beyond.

​The demo day follows eight weeks of comprehensive investment readiness support covering investor decks, financial models, legals, CAP Table, dilution, due diligence, investor prospecting and so much more. Throughout the programme, they will have heard directly from leading investors and founders, including Ada Ventures, Twin Path Ventures, SolidBond, Sure Valley Ventures and a number of serial angel investors.

​Now, they’ll take the stage to share their vision.

​Each founder will deliver a 5-minute pitch to an audience of investors and select ecosystem leaders from across Scotland’s startup community. All presenting companies will be actively raising investment within the next 12 months, making this a unique opportunity to hear from a curated group of Scotland’s most exciting early-stage tech founders before anyone else.

​Stick around after the pitches for networking and conversations with founders, fellow investors, and ecosystem peers.

​🎤 Expect:

• ​10 pre-seed startup pitches from Scotland’s most exciting tech founders

• ​A room full of investors and key ecosystem leaders

• ​Drinks & nibbles, networking, and great company

​This is an invite-only event — places are limited. Please arrive at 4pm - proceedings will begin promptly at 4.30pm.
