Pitchdrive
VC Fund
Antwerp, Belgium
Pitchdrive is a radical break from traditional early-stage investing. We want to get funding in the hands of great founders as soon as we can - in weeks, not months. Because entrepreneurs should focus on building a company, not on talking to investors.With our data-driven engine, we can qualify seed-stage ventures faster than anyone on themarket. This allows us to make seed-stage investing scalable for founders and investors. Post-funding we also provide hands-on support in the form of network introductions, value add partners (up to €700k in value) and expert sessions. By founders for founders.
