About us
Welcome, founders from near and far.
We are OWOW Venture Studio, and this group is where we bring the Brainport
startup community together in person.
Our events exist for the answers nobody puts in public. What an investor is actually thinking when they open your deck. What you should have negotiated and
did not. Why the round that looked certain went quiet. You get to ask founders
who have raised millions, and the investors who wrote the cheques.
If you are raising now or raising soon, join the group and you will hear when
the next one opens.

Startup Investment Afternoon
OWOW HQ, Fuutlaan 14e, Eindhoven, NLOWOW Venture Studio and Gerard & Anton are hosting the second Startup Investment Afternoon on 11 September, with a lineup we're properly proud of.
Some questions about raising investment just can't be looked up online. So we're putting a pitch coach, two investors and the Brainport ecosystem in one room in Eindhoven, and reviewing pitch decks that gets sent in, same as last time.
The lineup
David Beckett (Pitch to Win) on the investor pitch. How a pitch meeting actually works, how to get into the 8% who get invited back, and how to stand out now that anyone can generate a deck in an afternoon.Lotte Smit van Ditshuizen (Arches Capital) and Meron Mekonnen (LUMO Labs) in a panel and Q&A. Early-stage angel syndicate against impact venture capital, and what each side actually reads first when they open your deck.
Bert-Jan Woertman (Gerard & Anton) on the Brainport ecosystem. What is happening in it, and how to use it.
Who it's for
Founders raising now or raising soon. Bring the question you have been too polite to ask an investor.Send us your pitch deck when you sign up and we'll review it. We did that last edition and we're doing it again.
