Is Raising Funding in Nordic Roadshow for Your Startup?
Nordic Roadshows are a series of one-day events that make cross-border fundraising as easy as possible. This year, we will organise three events: we opened the game in Helsinki in the end of May and will continue it in Stockholm and in Copenhagen during this fall. Each event gathers together 9 Nordic startups and the leading investors of the region and around Europe. The events are tailor-made for startups that are raising seed-round funding.
How do you know if Nordic Roadshow is for you? These questions will help you find out whether you should apply.
1. Is your company raising seed-round funding?
Until now, it’s been easy to operate without external funding, right? Or you may have raised some amount of money to get things started, but now you need more resources to boost your product development, go-to-market plans or growth? We’re here to help by gathering a dozen of the most appreciated VC companies under the same roof with you. These investors are making their initial investment in the seed-phase and they are looking forward to giving you long-term support. In the next Nordic Roadshow in Stockholm, there will be investors participating from Sweden and all around Northern Europe. To be honest, you won’t get an other chance to meet them this easily.
2. Do you want feedback from the most experienced professionals out there?
Yes, we know, sufficient funding is of crucial importance for your venture. Still, we truly believe that the most important thing an investor brings to the table is their unique expertise of new ventures and their challenges. In Nordic Roadshow, our investors are sharing their knowledge to help your startup grow.
We aim at facilitating the discussions between you and the investors in various ways. After pitching your startup, you’ll get a chance to talk with every investor privately. Then, we’ll head to the dinner party where the discussions can continue in a more relaxed atmosphere. It’s not every day that you can meet a person who’s seen it all in the startup scene — in Nordic Roadshow, you’ll see a dozen of them at once.
3. Do you want to cut all the unnecessary expenses?
Okay, I see. Who wouldn’t prefer saving money? That’s why we’ll make sure that all the Nordic Roadshow events will be 100 % free for their participants. There is no participation fees. Flights and accommodation for 4 people per each startup will be covered, and the dinner party will be free of charge.
Did you answer yes to all the questions above? Then the next Nordic Roadshow in Copenhagen on 8 November is something you definitely don’t want to miss. We in Kiuas, as well as our co-organizers in Excitera and Stardust-DTU, will make sure that this event will be the best possible opportunity for you to meet seed-round investors and take the next step with your venture.
