Our Story
InfoIn our network we see that a lot of startups find it difficult to find the right investors for their business and product. Often when approaching investors, startups discover a barrier in not knowing how to create a relevant connection. How do I meet an investor? What are my options? How should I act? Capital Tour XXL’s mission is to demystify this world of capital. During Capital Tour XXL startups hop on their bikes to visit a selection of your city’s finest investors and discover the startup capital ecosystem in one day. The event provides an informal setting where relevant connections can be made and new deals can be born.
Capital Tour XXL is founded together with Professional Rebel. Since 2015 we took a total of 750+ startup founders to over 100 HQs of investors all around the city of Amsterdam and in Rotterdam.
Capital Tour XXL Rotterdam (2017 & 2018) is made possible by and organized in close collaboration with Venture Café Rotterdam.
We are proud of what we’ve done so far!
