Focal is the hub for early-stage fundraising, accelerating the process and driving better results.
Focal has two demo-day formats, one where VCs can discover leading startups, and another where VCs pitch their funds to top tier LPs.
We surface the very best companies, as selected by 250 world class VC funds, from a pool of thousands of startups.
If you’re interested in investing in any of our finalists and would like to learn more, request introductions with the click of a button.
Grow your LP network with Focal Deploy. Your application alone will be seen by our 110 LP partners. Watch investor interest flow into your inbox
Sign up to our newsletter where you’ll get alerts about future demo days and other cool stuff. Our demo days are typically around May and October.
180 leading VCs vote on which they think are the most promising startups. Those with the most votes get to pitch.
After demo day, we will email demo day attendees and our wider community with details on all the finalists, as well as a simple form to fill in to request intros. Fill in the form, and we’ll pass your details to the companies you’re interested in.
A few days after demo day, we will select the companies for which we’ll raise SPVs. Promotions of SPV opportunities can only be communicated on a restricted basis. Visit gofocal.vc/SPV to complete the short eligibility assessment.
We have a waiting list of funds which want to partner with us. To join this waiting list, please contact hq@gofocal.vc. We review the waiting list every 6 months and add a limited number of high quality funds to the group.
We would love to hear from them! Feel free to drop us an email at hq@gofocal.vc
Focal is not a placement agent or broker. It’s free to both attend and apply.
We look for evidence of sophisticated LP, not just net asset value. Having said that, we look for a minimum commitment to venture of £500,000 in the past 5 years and/or evidence of dedicated teams and capital.
We showcase all of the data points we collect on GPs to vetted LPs. If an LP is interested in a meeting, you will receive an automated email with contact details to set up a meeting.
We expect there to be a huge amount of demand for this event. We want to select a diverse range of high-performing general partners. Applicants will be reviewed by the Focal team and our LP partners.
