Startup pitch nights &
tech networking in London.
Founders pitching, investors listening, operators connecting — a curated room, hosted by someone who knows the London scene. Some nights are ticketed, some are free. Anyone can attend.
Founders pitch, the room does the rest.
We've hosted 39 nights in London, and the shape of them hasn't changed: founders pitch on stage, then the floor opens and the room does the rest. The London series has been running since February 2024, usually a Tuesday night, recent rooms include Islington Blend, Sindercombe Social and The Cadogan Arms. The next one is at The Cadogan Arms on 21 July 2026 — tickets are on Luma and Eventbrite. Come once and the Slack invite follows.
The startup pitch night in London
Founders take the stage for short, honest pitches — a few minutes each, then direct Q&A from the investors and operators in the room. It's a working session, not a demo-day performance: the point is candid feedback and the conversations that start the moment the mic goes down. Want to pitch? Here's how it works →
Tech networking, before and after
The pitches are the spine of the evening; the networking is the rest of the body. Registration opens with drinks and introductions, and after the pitch session the floor stays open — founders, investors, VCs, engineers and operators from the London tech and business scene, all in one room. Come with one sentence about what you're building or looking for.
How the last ones went.
London, asked & answered.
Is there a startup pitch night in London?
Yes — Startup Valley runs recurring startup pitch nights in London. The next one is on TUE 21 July 2026 at The Cadogan Arms. Every night combines live startup pitches with open tech networking in one evening.
How do I pitch my startup at a London event?
Get the "Pitch at the event" ticket for an upcoming London night and tell us about your startup through the pitch application form. Pitch slots are limited to keep the session focused, so earlier is better.
Who attends Startup Valley events in London?
Founders and startup teams, investors (VCs and angels), engineers, and operators from the London tech scene. Investors join by approval, so pitching founders always have the right people in the room.
Where in London do the events happen?
Recent London nights ran at Islington Blend, Sindercombe Social and The Cadogan Arms — bars, coworking spaces and event venues chosen for a room you can actually talk in. The exact venue and address are on each event's page and ticket link.
How much do tickets cost?
Early-bird tickets are the cheapest and go first; standard admission follows, and prices step up as the night approaches. Pitching startups purchase a dedicated pitch ticket. Exact prices are on each event page.
What is the format of the night?
Registration and networking first, then a host welcome, a focused startup pitch session with investor Q&A, and open networking until the venue winds down — about three hours end to end.

Every London night is announced to the community first — and the biweekly drop carries the best of what pitched.
