Our Pitch Events

There are four pitch events per year, they will be held in February, May, September and November, hosted at a Bournemouth hotel.

Each pitch event starts with networking and an informal 'Meet the Founder' session. An opportunity for entrepreneurs to meet with investors and showcase their product or service. Following that, there will be 5 pitch presentations of 10 minutes, each followed by a 10-minute Q&A, to suit all investor appetites. The Dorset Business Angels directors will select these near the event. Short summaries will be posted to our Events page and distributed via our newsletter ahead of the event. An investor debate follows each pitch presentation, held privately.

These pitches and our other social events are ideal opportunities for networking and learning about what is new and trending in a variety of industries. If you would like to be involved, you can find out more on our Investors' Membership page.

Our Next Pitch Event

Takes place on November 16th and is open to Members and High Net Worth/Sophisticated Investors from our wider community.

Registration is now open.
