As an LP looking for the best GPs to invest in, Onstage makes it easy to screen, select, and meet with managers of all stripes. Great use of our time.

Onstage is making waves in early-stage investing circles, delivering me numerous exciting opportunities. I expect my Onstage-sourced portfolio to grow.

Onstage offers the opportunity for LPs to meet many high-quality VC managers in an efficient way, therewith adding value to both GPs and LPs.

Deploy provides a unique opportunity to meet with great fund managers and the whole Onstage team works hard to maximise the benefits of these connections.

The VC ecosystem can be a difficult one to navigate and Onstage is right at the centre of it. They are helping LPs and GPs connect and partner up where it makes sense. It is great to be part of their network.

AXA Venture Partners

You can become an investor in the hottest startups at the right time with as little as £1k, and it might just be the most egalitarian initiative ever to happen to capitalism.

Onstage Deploy was extremely well organised. A great group, full of talented people and the appropriate length of pitches. Extremely well run - really a great group of talent.

Abbas Hussain
AH Biotech

Deploy felt really personal - I think the size and concentration of investors in the room was good. The panels were insightful - the questions and answers were not generic, with some really interesting perspectives.

Jo Lanyon
Gravel Road Ventures

Deploy always surfaces new GPs raising that we haven’t seen before. Deploy is proving a great platform to source from, and it’s always exciting to see great talent popping up in there that isn’t in our network yet - and that’s always great.

Chloe Dagnell
Isomer Capital

Being selected as a finalist for Onstage Deploy is an honour; the platform is ultimately championing a shift in the ecosystem as emerging VCs demonstrate the expanding influence of network effects.

Jeffrey Evans
Mantis VC

It’s not easy getting access to top tier deal flow unless you’re a VC. Onstage makes it easy to invest in startups that have been vetted by leading VCs.

Harry Nightingall
Angel

Deploy was an amazing event, felt genuine with a small set of GPs and LPs, but not too many, which helped to make true connections. Lucky to be part of it - such a great event, especially as it’s based on merit.
