Applications for this pitch event close Friday 14 November.
Join us on Wednesday 3 December for our final, festive MAINstream Pitch Event of 2025. The morning will include pitch events from four applicant companies, who are pre-selected by an investor selection panel, as well as an opportunity to network over a light festive breakfast.
If you are interested in joining the network and attending our events please email mainstream@michelmores.comfor further details.
We hold five pitch events a year where high-growth early-stage companies will be invited to present their businesses to members of the network.
Applicant companies are shortlisted by an investor selection panel and four businesses will be invited to pitch.
Each business has ten minutes to pitch followed by questions from the investors.
Following the pitch, if applicants are in agreement, a copy of the presentations and contact details, are shared with the whole network (currently 85 members).
The MAINstream team are always on hand to answer any questions, but at this stage we leave the investors to follow up directly with the organisations of interest to them.
If you’d like to apply, please complete the two application forms below and return them with a copy of your pitch deck to mainstream@michelmores.com.
Applications are open to businesses of all sectors, but subject to the following requirements:
- either be based in the South West or in Cheltenham, (if applying to MAINstream Cheltenham), or have a material presence in or connection to the region;
- qualify for SEIS / EIS relief; and
- either be generating revenue or able to demonstrate a paid-for pilot.
