Focal exists to level up and supercharge the early stage fundraising process.

Focal operates Europe’s largest startup demo day, powered by >250 leading VC funds, and garnering >4,000 startup applications per year. Imagine Dragon's Den on a much bigger scale (in fact, a few of our alumni have made appearances on the show).

We give applicants the opportunity to reach hundreds of leading VCs and angel investors, with one, short pitch. We also give attendees the opportunity to invest in the very best of these startups.

At the start of 2024, we launched Focal Deploy, a revolutionary demo day for GPs to pitch to LPs, which attracted 250 GP applicants and >110 high quality, large ticket LPs.

Our mission is to be the first port of call for all startups and VCs, globally, when fundraising. This is a huge vision and we need world-class talent to execute on it.
