About this event

A Matchmaking Event with Top Global Investors in AI, Blockchain, Fintech And Mixed Reality. 

The organisers, Astra Group, carefully select the best startups in AI, blockchain and mixed reality and match them with 50+ top funds and angel investors. 

CONCEPT: Best startups in the field meet most prominent investors. The project consists of 3 stages: 

Preparation: We carefully assess global startups and select the most promising AI, blockchain and mixed reality firms to meet 50+ hand-picked most prominent investors in the field. 

Reception: The 7-hour event in Lisbon gives any participating startup a fair chance to make a pitch and collect feedback from every participating investor. For details please refer to the agenda below.    

Follow-up: we proactively follow-up with both investors and participating startups, providing additional information and feedback.

WHY PARTICIPATE?

Startups get tremendous help in identifying and getting the attention of the key target investors from around the world. At one place you get the meetings, that could take months to achieve, and thousands of airmiles to travel. That reduces the time to the deal for you. The feedback and experience that you receive could be used for your future deals. Upon request, we can offer further support with business development. We bring real value to both sides — investors and projects — as they will only spend time on useful meetings. 

Investors get the qualified selection of really strong firms in AI, blockchain and mixed reality.

FEEDBACK from previous events (https://astragroup.ch/investment/): 

«I attend 4-5 blockchain events around the world each month and often serve as a judge or panelist for projects. Your event in Zurich presented the most interesting and diverse set of projects I came across in the last two years. I have kept in touch with several of the founders and continue to follow many of the projects. I am very much looking forward to the next one!» 

— Christopher Fisher, Managing Partner at Click Ventures

«Great networking opportunity! Your reception had high-quality attendees, the dinner was excellent. We would definitely work with your team again!» 

— Tim Tilson, Co-Founder of Vosai
