Gama Speed Pitch

A key component of the Meet The Investor programme is the Gama Speed Pitch.

Hosted by Cris Arcangeli, Chief Executive Officer, Investor, Serial Entrepreneur and Shark Tank Brazil Host, the Gama Speed Pitch (private event) offers a unique platform for up to 12 founders of innovative consumer goods start-ups and scale-ups to deliver compelling 3-minute pitches to an elite, international panel of over 50 investors, live from Manchester's Bridgewater Hall during the Gama Innovation Conference & Awards (GICA).

The Gama Innovation Box is designed to simplify the way brands connect with buyers. By putting products directly into the hands of decision-makers and supporting them with clear, concise information, we are helping to create more efficient and meaningful commercial conversations. As part of our Meet The Buyer programme, it also ensures that these connections continue well beyond the event itself.
