Pitching Competition

SECURE FUNDING FOR YOUR STARTUP

NewCo Accelerator proudly presents the Arctic15 Pitching competition! It’s time to take big steps towards recovery and prosperity. The Pitching Competition returns for Helsinki 2021! This is an exciting journey where the finals will be streamed online on our Deal Room platform in front of many investors. Take this opportunity to bounce back from the pandemic in style! Are you ready?

Why should you join?

This is your chance to get exposure to international angel investors, VCs and corporations. So take advantage of this opportunity to expand your network, build potential partnerships, gain media visibility and most importantly, secure funding for your startup. Everyone that makes it to the top 30, will get extra exposure, and a good chance of getting funded even without winning the competition as investors are hunting for the next success story.

The competition will focus on pre-seed to seed stage startups. Startups will be judged by a panel of international investors and experts. There will be three stages to the competition, the application period, public Top30 voting, and the final 15 pitching at the event.

The winner will get €5 000 worth ArcticStartup services, but naturally an investment opportunity from an angel syndicate is the ultimate goal!

Startups, join us for the Arctic15 Pitching Competition by NewCo Accelerator by submitting your pitch deck and answering a few questions and several multiple-choice questions in the application form: Simple as that! You will get an instant report on certain aspects of your business from our partner Hopohopo so just that is well worth your time spent on the application.
