Vailor in rev London: VCs Pitching to Founders at London Tech Week 2025

As part of London Tech Week 2025, we had the opportunity to attend rev London, a standout event hosted by Pitchflix — and the energy was electric from start to finish.
What made rev London truly unique was its bold approach: flipping the traditional startup format by putting venture capital firms in the hot seat. Instead of founders pitching for investment, it was the VCs pitching their funds, strategies, and values directly to founders from across the world.
Held in the heart of Canary Wharf, the event brought together a global community of ambitious entrepreneurs, forward-thinking investors, and leading accelerators. Throughout the day, VC firms took the stage to present their investment thesis, share what kind of founders they’re looking to back, and highlight the sectors they’re most excited about. It was refreshing to see such transparency and enthusiasm from the investment side of the table.
Alongside the reverse pitches, accelerators and ecosystem builders showcased their programs in a wrap-up segment designed to help startups understand the broader support landscape. As the formal sessions wrapped up, the conversations continued well into the evening during a vibrant networking session set against the stunning London skyline.
One of the most inspiring parts of rev London was its global reach. Founders from all corners of the world were in the room, bringing diverse perspectives, innovative ideas, and bold ambitions. It served as a powerful reminder that entrepreneurship knows no borders.
We’re excited to keep the momentum going from this event and look forward to building new relationships and collaborating with visionary founders who are pushing boundaries and shaping the future.
