This Fashion District event is in association with Diarra Smith, an expert investment consultant from Year Here and Backed Venture Capital, and supported by Beauhurst.

During The Backroom Pitch, a selection of pre-seed and seed start-ups will pitch to 20 VCs and investors, all interested in new sustainable solutions that tackle the critical issues of the fashion industry. Please note: applications have now closed to pitch at this event.

The diverse line-up of investors will be looking for businesses that are focused on any part of retail tech, manufacturing tech, supply chain and logistics, transparency, materials innovation, circular economy, robotics and automation, artificial intelligence solutions, internet-of-things, augmented/virtual reality, technologies that converge digital and physical shopping or any that enhance customer experience.

In between pitching, the selected businesses will be able to network with other founders and industry, as well as join in with fireside chats and debates in the delightful setting of Mezzanine at The Stratford.
