Meet the Investors: An Afternoon at the Estonian Embassy in Rome

An afternoon of structured investor speed-meetings for early-stage founders based in Italy, hosted by the Estonian Embassy in Rome with Estonia's e-Residency programme.

It runs 15:00 to 19:00 at the embassy on Via Clitunno. Short talks at 15:15 cover building internationally with e-Residency and Estonia's startup ecosystem, and what early-stage investors look for. From 15:45 founders rotate through eight-minute one-to-ones with Estonian and international angels and VCs: three minutes of pitch, five of questions and feedback. Investors and speakers are announced nearer the date.

Free but approval-gated: founders register on Luma and complete a Dealum profile, then the organisers and investors pick who gets meetings.

Why go: guaranteed face time with investors from outside the Italian circuit, in a format that forces real feedback. Best for pre-seed and seed founders thinking about international growth.
