UK x Belgium Startup Showcase 🇬🇧🇧🇪

Описание: What do 132 introductions and almost setting fire to the Belgian Ambassador’s residence have in common? 👀

Last week, we teamed up with hub.brussels and Startup.Flanders for a high-energy Demo Day connecting top UK and Belgian startups with investors. From 190+ applications, 48 VCs helped us shortlist 30 founders, each pitching with 1 slide, 1 minute, and 2–3 minutes of Q&A.

The result? 132 meaningful introductions between founders and investors. 💥
Because for us, Demo Days aren’t about volume, they’re about quality, detail, and genuine connection.

Big thanks to everyone who made it happen, from Caroline Kay for pitch practice, to EventWell®, CrowdComms, and SafeSpace Plus™ for creating the perfect founder experience. Shoutout to Temperance AF, Mixtons, Nooi, Neverleft, and Pitchflix for keeping the day smooth, social, and unforgettable. 🙌

And yes, there was a little drama, shoutout to Caroline van den Bergh for spotting smoke mid-speech and saving the embassy from going up in flames 🔥😂

Here’s a look back at one unforgettable day of pitches, partnerships, and almost pyrotechnics.
