Are you ready to set course for 2050?

Join ImpactCity and Golden Egg Check on a Mission Impossible.

The future doesn't wait for a pitch deck, technological developments are following one another at lightning speed, and international relations are changing. The pressure on our economy, security, living environment, and society is increasing. That is precisely why now is the moment to set a course together.

Join us for a curated speed-dating session between ambitious startups and relevant investors.

Signing up doesn't guarantee a full speed date agenda. Matches are made based on investor focus and scope.

The deadline to sign up to the speed dates is on 1st November 2026. Any registration after that day will go directly to the waiting list. Being on the waiting list does not ensure acceptance to the event.

How it works

Selected startups get matched with up to 3 relevant investors for focused 20-minute conversations. No cold pitching, no wandering the room hoping to bump into the right person, just efficient, curated meetings with VCs and angels active in your space.

This edition sits inside a day built around one question: are you ready to set course for 2050? Expect sharp conversations, cross-sector energy, and a room full of people actually building toward that future, making it the perfect backdrop for founders and investors to find their next move.

Who it's for:

Founders raising or preparing to raise, with early traction

VCs and angel investors active in early-stage tech

Spots are limited and curated, sign up below and we'll match you with the right counterparts. We will let you know your matches by Tuesday November 3rd.
