Companies have also previously benefitted from meeting the other selected companies at these events. We hope many of you will submit applications to be part of these events. Companies based in the UK or companies looking to establish in the UK are welcome to apply.
Elevator Pitch Training Session
The SFN, SNS and Scottish Enterprise will select between 10 and 12 companies, based on the completed forms, to be part of the Elevator Pitch Training Session. The selection will be based on how closely we believe that your proposition fits our investor base and on the investor attractiveness of your proposition.
The purpose of the training session is to prepare the selected companies for their pitch to actual investors during the Elevator Pitch Event and to give companies the opportunity to benefit from feedback and advice from a panel of investors, business, corporate, IP and legal advisers.
Each company will be given 6 minutes to pitch as part of a pitch
“Investing Game”. Full details of both the Training Session and Pitch Event will be provided to the selected companies.
Elevator Pitch Event
Companies will be given a 6 minute slot for an elevator pitch to a panel of potential investors. There will also be time to network with the audience which will be comprised predominantly of investors with an interest in space opportunities.
