The platform brings together student entrepreneurs from across Europe, allowing them to pitch their startups to over 100 angel investors and venture capitalists. In addition to the demo-day, European Student Startups also offers valuable feedback from experienced venture capital investors to those who don't make it to the event. With hundreds of startup applications from various European countries, the platform has gained recognition and support from notable venture capital firms such as Balderton Capital, Smedvig Capital, and McKinsey Ventures. European Student Startups is also raising a pre-seed fund to make £20k investments into early stage student-run startups.
