The Reverse Climate Pitch

Event
Flipping the power dynamic between climate tech investors and startups founders.

21st May 2026

Event

This is not your typical startup pitch event.

Normally, founders pitch to investors. This time, Climate Connection are flipping the script.

In a playful turn of events, the VCs will be taking the stage. Three venture capital funds will be invited, spanning pre-seed to Series A, to pitch themselves to the room. They’ll share who they invest in, how they work with founders, and what they’re looking for in a startup. But It doesnt stop there. After presenting, each VC will be put on the spot by a panel of founders, answering the questions founders care about, live on stage. The goal is to create a space for honest, open conversation where there’s no hiding behind a deck and no rehearsed answers.

What’s Happening

 

  • 3 VCs pitching their fund
  • Live Q&A led by a founder panel
