For Entrepreneurs SpeedPitching is the single most effective and efficient way for entrepreneurs to pitch to multiple investors. Simply apply to a SpeedPitching event in your area—we’ll award the top 10 plans the opportunity to pitch. If selected, you’ll give a 4-minute pitch to a small group of angel investors. There’s a short Q&A session, time for investors to write out their comments, then you’re on to the next group. It’s a fun, fast-paced format similar to speed dating, and the results are impressive. SpeedPitching puts you in front of up to 30 accredited investors allowing you to pitch your ideas, make connections, and get the funding you need. You’ll enjoy lunch at the event and the opportunity to make appointments with investors for follow-up meetings. Funding Universe hosts dozens of SpeedPitching events across the country every year.

For Investors Attend one of our SpeedPitching events and we’ll bring 10 of the best deals in your state to come and show their stuff. Here’s how it works. The entrepreneur will give a 4-minute pitch to you and 2-3 other angel investors. You’ll have 3 minutes to ask questions and another 3 minutes to record your thoughts and comments. Then it’s on to the next pitch. It’s a fun, fast-paced format similar to speed dating; and the results are impressive. SpeedPitching brings you 10 pre-screened companies; allowing you to hear their ideas, make connections, and request future appointments if you wish.

Testimonials

"Thanks very much to all of you for hosting the SpeedPitching event in the Bay Area last week. The event was well organized, disciplined to ensure that all participants were heard and well displayed, and was populated with quality investors who took a real interest in the event. Thanks again and Congratulations!

Henry Mauriss, Power Ports

“Thank you FundingUniverse.com for holding the Speedpitching event in Phoenix. Arizona is in need of improved connectivity between entrepreneurs and investors. Your fast paced format allowed for a very good use of time and resulted in request from four separate investors for follow-up meetings. I’ll let you know when one of the investors makes the right decision.”

Michael D. Austin, Armor Sports

"Congratulations to team Funding Universe on the amazing concept and a very well planned out event. Few things that were clear are: it is advantageous to have the presentation shorter to allow the investor to ask specific questions right then and there. They get more info beyond the presentation & allows for personal communication contact. At the same time for the Entrepreneur to make notes of the questions asked, as it is an important feedback for the entrepreneur for the future business plan development or presentations. Very impressed with the concept and the way it was managed."

Sam Gur, PhytoBase

"I would recommend the Speedpitching event as a must do to any entrepreneur who is actively raising or thinking about raising financing.  The staff at Funding Universe was great, the event was extremely well organized, the investors were engaged and excited to hear about new opportunities, and the questions investors asked about our business opportunity were insightful and relevant.  It was a fantastic experience!"

Erik Johnson, 10 Speed Media

"For a small company needing capital infusion, the SpeedPitch event was invaluable.  Not only were we able to establish productive contacts within the investor community, but we also refined our investor pitch.  The process of preparing for and participating in the rapid-fire presentation format challenged us to clearly articulate why Simplifile represents a compelling investment opportunity.  Very worthwhile."

Rob Moore, Simplifile

“Our experience at the event helped us refine our presentation and, more importantly, identify to an even greater degree why Central Logic exists and what we want to do with it.”

Ryan Larsen, Central Logic

Our participation in the Funding-Florida.com event was a great experience; the angel network and feedback received exceeded our expectations."

Oscar Coen, Med-Tek

"We have been contacted by quite a few investors since the speed-pitching luncheon. This has been the most productive funding event that I have ever seen. The amount of exposure we received in a single day was amazing."

Rix Ryskamp, Simpliphone
