About This Event

Investor Roulette is an online pitch session for founders seeking direct feedback from early-stage investors. You’ll pitch in small breakout rooms, answer questions and test how your deck and story land.

Applications close Monday 19 October 2026. Every application is reviewed, with outcomes shared shortly afterwards. Approval is required to attend.

How the session works

  • Around two to three 15-minute breakout-room rotations
  • Each round includes a 3-minute pitch, 5-minute Q&A and 5-minute feedback
  • Founders meet two to three investors and rotate between rooms
  • Matches and investors’ LinkedIn profiles will be shared beforehand

Come prepared

  • A startup pitch you can deliver in under 3 minutes
  • A deck you can present in under 5 minutes
  • Readiness for candid questions and feedback

Who it’s for

This session is for founders looking to meet early-stage investors, pressure-test a deck or gain feedback before sending it out. It is most useful for founders building venture-scalable businesses in Australia or New Zealand who have an MVP, early users or a validated problem.
