Only one pitching slot remains.
Grab a ticket for attendee slots before the event gets sold out.

A warm invitation by Northern StartUp 2.0 community to join our trade mission to London on the 8th of June 2009. Programme includes a workshop from 2 to 5pm and Dragons Lair from 6 to 9pm.

Michael Birch, who sold Bebo to AOL for a reported £420 million will be joining us for both sessions. Michael has joined forces with Brent Hoberman of LastMinute.com and other successful entrepreneurs to launch a development fund, European Founders Capital (EFC) to aid start-up technology companies. EFC is expected to fill the gap between angel investors, who typically make hundreds of thousands of pounds available, and venture capitalists who provide millions.

How often do you get a chance to rub shoulders with one of the best tech entrepreneurs that the UK has produced in recent years? This is your opportunity, not just to learn from Michael, but also a rare opportunity to pitch your business to him.

Michael will be joined by Scott Livingston (setup, funded and sold over 10 companies), Daniel Waterhouse from Wellignton Partners (previously with 3i), Andrew Nutter from Balderton Capital, and Paul Walsh, the Irish Opportunist.
