What's Happening
Pitch Jam
Pitch Jam is an opportunity for Furthr-supported founders to present their startup to a group of experienced investors and receive direct, constructive feedback.
The session is designed to create a focused environment where founders can refine their pitch, test their value proposition and gain insight from active investors. By bringing together a small group of founders and investors, Pitch Jam prioritises meaningful discussion and practical feedback over a traditional large-audience pitching format.
How Pitch Jam Works
A select group of founders that have been supported by Furthr are invited to present their pitch to participating investors.
Following each pitch, founders take part in a structured round-robin discussion, allowing investors to engage directly and provide focused feedback. This format ensures every founder benefits from multiple investor perspectives in a constructive setting.
Feedback and key insights are captured during the session and shared with founders afterwards, giving them clear, actionable takeaways to support their next steps.
Founder Participation
Each session features a small group of carefully selected founders supported by Furthr. This focused approach allows founders to:
Pitch to experienced investors in a supportive environment
Receive detailed feedback on their proposition and pitch delivery
Engage in meaningful discussion with the investment community
The goal is to help founders strengthen their investor narrative and prepare for future fundraising conversations.
Investor Engagement
Pitch Jam brings together a curated group of investors who participate in an interactive feedback format with founders.
This creates the opportunity for:
Direct founder–investor interaction
Multiple investor perspectives
Stronger connections within the startup ecosystem

Building Connections
