Made: The Entrepreneur Festival

Brilliant panel discussions, keynote speeches, inspiration “shots”, exhibitions and fringe events on building and growing a British business.

Highlights include:

The £1m Investment Pitch Six winning entrepreneurs pitching to real Dragons

Five experienced investors will be given the challenge of deciding whether they would invest £1m in any of six high growth companies that have been carefully selected and mentored. Six entrepreneurs, selected by their winning entries for this event, will have the opportunity to impress the investor panel and showcase their companies.

The event will be run as a competition, with a winning entrepreneur declared, but pitching will be to serial investors willing, potentially, to make a real investment in these companies.

This pitching event is being run by Envestors the award-winning private investor network and Nabarro LLP a major UK commercial law firm renowned for its success in helping high growth companies raise angel investment.
