Startup Funding Bootcamp: apply to master fundraising and pitch to investors

The fourth edition of the Startup Funding Bootcamp (previously known as Summer / Winter Investment Call) is now accepting applications until October 31. Selected founders can participate at no cost. 

What is Startup Funding Bootcamp?

The Startup Funding Bootcamp is an ecosystem initiative by PurposeTech, a pre-seed fund that backs founders from Central and Eastern Europe dedicated to transforming health, sustainability, and education. 

Starting on November 4, this six-week program will provide selected founders with expert guidance on fundraising, building a team, feedback on their pitch decks, and an opportunity to pitch directly to investors during an online Demo Day. 

What is offered to startups?

The program features four online workshops covering essential topics such as building a fundable team, understanding venture scale, showcasing early traction, and mastering fundraising strategies. Founders will receive personalized feedback on their pitch decks and have the opportunity to pitch their startups to a panel of VCs and angel investors in the second week of December.

Investors participating in Demo Day include Purple Ventures, Czech Founders VC, Baltic Sandbox Ventures, AIP Seed, Lemonade Stand, Firstpick, Katalista Ventures, LatBAN, DEPO Ventures, EstBAN and PurposeTech.

Who can apply for the Bootcamp?

  • The Bootcamp is open for founders actively working on their startups and preparing to pitch to investors by early December. 
  • Applicants should have a connection to CEE, whether through team members, location, or target market. 
  • Startups from all industries and verticals are welcome to apply.
