Pitch Guernsey

Pitch Guernsey is back, and better than ever.

Pitch Guernsey is a quarterly evening event where a handful of founders pitch to a curated room of Guernsey’s most active private investors and business leaders.

A small, intimate room, the kind that makes the conversations worth having. We started this spring, and we’re bringing it back for summer on 29 July from 5 – 8 pm.

Pitch Guernsey is comfortable and fun. Doors open at five with food, drinks and time to mingle. Then the pitches begin.

Each founder tells their story, followed by time for the conversations and collaborations that actually move things forward. Along the way, the audience gives every company feedback, which founders take away to sharpen both their pitch and their business.

Pitch Guernsey is a private forum for discussion and relationship building. It is not a fundraising platform. Investors meet the founders who are the future of business on the island and in the UK. Founders receive honest feedback and warm introductions that can grow into real, lasting relationships.

Everyone leaves the Guernsey community and ecosystem a little stronger than before.

For the summer edition, we are selecting five startups from the UK and Guernsey. We are looking for ambitious, post-revenue companies raising growth capital and building scalable solutions to real problems.

Thanks to our partners, travel and accommodation support is available for UK-based founders.

Applications to pitch close on 10 July.

To make the summer edition as valuable as possible for the founders present, we are especially keen to hear from:

• Investors who actively back start-up and scale-up founders themselves;
• People who can connect us to investors who actively allocate capital; and
• Potential customers for any of the participating start-ups. If that’s you, or you know someone it describes, we’d love an introduction.

A warm connection from you could be exactly the relationship a founder is looking for.

Pitch Guernsey is a shared endeavour, and it simply wouldn’t happen without the organisations who back it. We’re grateful to our lead partners for their support of the island’s founders: Artemis, Aston, and HFL. Pitch Guernsey is growing.

If your organisation would like to help strengthen the island’s entrepreneurship, innovation and investment community, we’d love to talk. See you on the 29th.
