Welcome to Investor Mixers, a unique platform where ambitious startup founders and keen investors intersect. Brought to you by Bloom, our goal is to provide a bridge between innovative startup ideas and the investors who can help them reach new heights. If you're a startup seeking funding or an investor scouting for your next venture, our Investor Mixers events are the ideal arena for you.
Agenda
Our events run for approximately two hours, with a clear and organized agenda designed to make the most of this networking opportunity:
Begin your experience with an interactive networking session where participants can connect and engage. Meanwhile, startup founders can utilize breakout rooms for rehearsing their pitches, ensuring they’re ready to impress our panel of investors.
Our team from Bloom will provide a warm welcome, introducing the purpose of the event, an overview of the agenda, and a brief introduction of participants. This section also includes a quick 2-3 minute introduction from each member of the investment panel, laying the groundwork for the discussions to follow.
In this segment, we host a moderated panel discussion with distinguished guests, who may either be investors or industry experts. Each guest is asked 2-3 questions, sparking engaging discussions around investment, startup growth, and more. The session is designed to limit the number of guests to 3, ideally 2, ensuring each has ample time to share their insights. Attendees will also have the opportunity to ask questions, enriching their understanding of the investment landscape.
This is the spotlight moment for startups! Each startup is allocated a 5-minute slot - 3 minutes for pitching their business idea and 2 minutes for a Q&A round. This format keeps the session dynamic while allowing investors to clarify any points or ask further questions about the pitch. If time permits, a short break or buffer period is planned after the pitches.
As we conclude the formal activities, we open the floor once more for networking. Attendees are encouraged to use breakout rooms to continue discussions, facilitating deeper connections and potential collaborations. This is an opportunity to exchange contact information, set up meetings, or simply engage in casual conversations about the industry.
