Events where startups pitch to investors (often known as “Demo Daysâ€) have moved online in response to the Covid-19 pandemic. The Fantastic Beasts platform was launched in May 2020 to aggregate recorded pitches from the founders presenting at such Demo Day events, globally.
The result is a single destination site so that new ventures are more easily discoverable by angel, VC and EIS/Seed EIS investors.
Today, we are pleased to launch PitchChannel(TM) (www.FantasticBeasts.TV/PitchChannel) our single destination site for live streaming pitch events. PitchChannel helps event organisers to reach a wider investor audience and helps investors to easily discover and attend live pitch events with a single one-time registration. Laid out for easy browsing much like a TV guide, currently live events can be accessed immediately while future events can be added to the user’s calendar.
The new service launches with the participation of Austin, Texas-headquartered NewChip Accelerator, and Pan-Africa platform Start-up Lounge, together with showcasing – live – some 200 start-ups from 25 countries over the next two weeks.
Chief Content Officer Benny Lee commented “We think of PitchChannel as Netflix for pitches. Easy access to the early-stage ecosystems around the world gives investors unprecedented intelligence for either investment or benchmarking of opportunities in their local region against international peers and competitors.â€
“Over the months ahead, we aim to build the platform to livestream pitch events around the clock, around the worldâ€.
The platform is free of charge for investors.
