Fashion and Luxury Goods Investment Forum

The Startup Club is pleased to invite you to our Fashion and Luxury Goods Investment Forum.

If you are a fashion, beauty or luxury startup looking for the next investment round, this event presents a unique opportunity for intimate networking with potential investors. If you are a Business Angel or an Investment Fund Manager, our Fashion and Luxury Goods Investment Forum will allow you to discover carefully selected, innovative companies in the industry from all around the world.

The Forum invites startups from different spectrums of the Fashion and Luxury industry to connect with the right investors: from sustainable fashion and clean beauty ventures, to technological innovations in the luxury industry overall - marketplaces, concierge services, luxury travel solutions and more.

By presenting at the Forum, you will gain opportunity to:

- Accelerate your fundraising process by gaining access to new investors;

- Connect with qualified and relevant investors;

- Meet investors under favourable circumstances and get a credible introduction to them (backed up by the brand equity we established with our investors).

- This event is "deal-oriented”, without distractions that keep the spotlight from the presenters. The events are not sponsor-supported and accordingly not heavily populated with service providers.

- Only five companies are featured on the program which provides for high visibility to investors. There are no concurrent activities or competing presentations. All companies present to the entire audience.
