Online PitchUp! sessions
PitchUp!, hosted by Tech South West, brings together investors interested in the tech sector with ambitious startup founders bursting out of the South West innovation ecosystem.
The first PitchUp! session saw four exciting companies - xigxag, Sora Aviation, Time4Good and Staxy - pitch to our brilliant judges Scott Preece from RWK Goodman, Melanie Goward from Maven, and Pete Lockett from Angel Investors Bristol.
Staxy made such an impression, they received a follow-up invitation to pitch to Angel Investors Bristol – exactly the kind of door-opening opportunity this programme was designed to create.
Will Line, Founder of Staxy, said: “PitchUp was a fantastic opportunity to share Staxy’s mission with an engaged and forward-thinking audience. Our goal is to become one of the leading global players in sustainable mobility, and right now our focus is on scaling our growth within the sports sector, where the need for greener transport is immediate and impactful.”
