VC Reverse Pitching & Beers

FinTech Aviv Presents: An Evening of VC Reverse Pitching & Beers

FinTech Aviv is back, and this is set to be the BIGGEST and best one yet!

Normally, you’re the nervous entrepreneur pitching VC’s. Well, at this event at the stunning WeWork roof, the investors will be pitching you. Each investor will very briefly introduce themselves. They’ll talk a little about their background, ticket sizes, sectors, investment thesis and portfolio. Then, the stage is yours. An audience Q&A will follow, as YOU the audience will grill our panel of investors.

Want to guarantee a LIVE question to our panel below? We’re taking only 3 questions in advance. So, get in early and ping [masked] with your question. If accepted, you’ll take the mic, introduce your company LIVE and fire your question to our investors on the night.
