Applications for this pitch event close Thursday 10 September.
Join us on Wednesday 30 September for our next MAINstream South West Pitch Event.
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.

- 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;
