The UK’s most promising startups, listen up! The Burning Heroes Founders Association is back in London, and they’re bringing the heat with their highly anticipated Pitch Competition. This isn’t just another event; it’s a golden ticket to connect with top-tier venture capitalists and gain invaluable exposure. Think of it as speed dating for startups and VCs but with the potential for a seriously committed relationship (and funding!).
This year’s competition promises to be bigger and better than ever, with a diverse range of investors from firms like Begin Capital, Future Planet Capital, Main Set, Mercia Ventures, Palta, ULTRA.VC, and Wayra, all hungry to discover the next big thing. Whether your startup is revolutionizing SaaS, building the next killer app, or pioneering green tech solutions, Burning Heroes welcomes you with open arms.
But it’s not just about the funding. Burning Heroes is renowned for its commitment to fostering a supportive and collaborative environment for early-stage founders.
Every participant gains valuable visibility, and the top five startups receive personalized feedback from industry veterans, giving them the edge they need to succeed. And let’s not forget the sweet prizes! ANNA, the business account that takes the pain out of taxes, is offering four annual subscriptions to their “Big Business” plan. Who wouldn’t want to win that?
This year, Burning Heroes is shining a spotlight on female-led startups with a focus on social impact. In partnership with ULTRA.VC and WOMEN IN TECH, they’ve created a special nomination that offers incredible benefits, including fast-tracked access to ULTRA.VC’s accelerator program, exclusive mentorship, and a powerful network to tap into. It’s a fantastic opportunity for women entrepreneurs to break barriers and make a real difference in the world.
Kirill Baranov, the driving force behind the London competition, emphasizes the importance of this event in today’s challenging fundraising landscape. With the competition expected to attract 100 promising startups, the energy at the Home Grown Club London on February 10th, 2025, is sure to be electric.
So, if you’re a UK startup ready to take the next step, don’t miss this chance to ignite your journey. Head over to the Burning Heroes website before January 28th, 2025, and submit your application. This could be the spark that sets your startup ablaze!
