Let’s just say, we slept pretty damn good after seeing $6m of interest drummed up for those founders.

Yesterday’s event with Capital Department was all the right kinda awsome:

• 700+ RSVPs

• loads of comments

• and plentyyyyy of emails from VCs saying they were impressed with the pitches

What’s next?

Just for you to indicate if you’d like to meet the founder in case ou missed the live pitch.

But in all seriousness, huge thanks again to Capital Dept for co-hosting this one with us. If you don’t know who the
