Pitch for the Future is a competition that aims to give Oxfordshire’s purposeful businesses the chance to pitch to Green Angel Investors.

To celebrate the eScalate programme’s Power of Purpose Week 2021 from 15th to 19th November, Town Sq will be hosting the final of their Pitch for the Future competition, where 6 finalists will pitch for investment to a friendly audience of local businesses and green angel investors. Hear from inspiring purposeful businesses in Oxfordshire, as well as from green angel investor Nasser Carrembacchus on the reason investors back businesses, plus a chance to meet the investor and other purposeful businesses in Oxfordshire.

You will also get the chance to vote for the most outstanding business of the day, who will walk away with the Audience’s Favourite cash prize generously provided by OxLEP.

What you’ll learn

This is a great opportunity to learn about pitching and hear why investors back businesses.

Pitch for the Future is a collaboration between Town Square Spaces, OSEP and OxLEP business as part of the eScalate programme.

Refreshments will be provided by the team at Town Sq.
