MISSION

About us.

Our Events.


At Onstage, we are building an events ecosystem to simplify the fundraising journey for startups and VCs.

Demo Day (Startups and VCs)
‍
Who it's for:
Pre-seed to Series A startups globally.
What it is: An event taking place over six weeks - starting with founder applications, followed by VC introductions, the announcement of the Onstage Top 100, and, finally, a live Demo Day in London - showcasing the top 1% of applicants. All applicants gain exposure to 350+ leading VCs.
‍Why it matters: Founders skip weeks of cold outreach. VCs discover companies ahead of the market.
When is it: Twice a year, in May and October.

Deploy (GPs and LPs)

Who it's for:
Emerging and established venture fund managers and LPs actively investing in venture.
What it is: A half-day, in-person summit where top managers pitch their funds to a curated group of LPs.
‍Why it matters: GPs get distribution and discovery. LPs cut through the noise and access high quality fund managers. There's no like-for-like event in Europe at this quality and scale.
When is it: Early February.
‍
By creating a focal point around which every early stage startup, VC and LP interacts, we aim to be the first port of call for early stage fundraising globally.
