The most promising startups in the Netherlands participate in an exciting day filled with pitching opportunities in front of champion investors, attend insightful workshops, receive pitch training, and network among fellow innovators and investors.
With over 250 startups, 70 angels investors, 50+ corporates, 20+ Venture Capital funds and Corporate Venture Funds there are workshops, startup/corporate dating, and investor meet & greets.
On top of this, 100 pre-selected startups will go through selection pitches in front of investors. These jury members will select 6 startups that will get the opportunity to battle later that evening on the main stage in the final round. In this final round 6 startups, divided in 3 weight classes, will literally face ff against each other in the ring. During five brief rounds they present their startup to a jury of Champion investors, and an audience of potential investors and fans, in a competition that can result in a potential investment for the winner.
Their goal? Become the Dutch National Champion of Get in the Ring 2015 and represent The Netherlands in the regional finals in London early 2016.
