We exist becausegreat businessesdeserve investment...not just well-connected ones.
Why we built this.
I spent ten years trying to raise money for ideas I believed in. Every round started the same way — a list of investors I didn't know, an inbox of unanswered cold emails, and the slow realisation that capital flows through relationships, not résumés.
The founders who got funded weren't always the best. They were the best connected. That bothered me enough to do something about it.
NewPitch is what I wish had existed back then. Screened panels. Real investors in the room. No upfront cost. A fair shot, decided on the merits of the business — not the address book of the founder.
How we built it differently
Three decisions that shaped everything.
The group format.
Five investors. One session. More signal in thirty minutes than months of individual meetings.
Screening first.
Every investor has reviewed your materials before you speak. No cold introductions.
Success-only fees.
Nothing is charged until you raise.
From the founders who have been through it.
I had been trying to get investor meetings for six months. NewPitch put me in front of ten in one morning.
The screening process was rigorous but that is exactly the point. It meant the investors on the call were genuinely interested before I said a word.
I expected it to feel like a pitch event. It felt more like ten really focused conversations happening at once.
The people behind it.
Alex Whitford
Founder
I spent a decade raising capital the hard way — cold emails, warm intros, dead ends.
I built NewPitch so the next founder doesn't have to know somebody to get heard.
Harry Tyndall
Head of Investor Network
I have sat on both sides of the table — as an operator and as an angel.
My job is to make sure every investor on a panel is someone you would actually want a cheque from.
Tom Acheson
Head of Founder Success
I work with every founder before they pitch. Materials, narrative, rehearsal — all of it.
We only have thirty minutes together with investors. We make every one of them count.
