Frequently asked questions
How does Ecosummit source its deal flow?
Startups apply by submitting a PDF deck to pitch on stage. Approved companies receive a 5-minute filmed slot that is published on YouTube. This process creates a gated, publicly viewable pipeline that both investors and corporates can screen before the conference.
Does Ecosummit deploy its own capital?
No. Ecosummit is a marketplace and conference platform — not a pooled investment vehicle. It connects startups with VCs, corporate ventures, and service providers for fundraising, co-investment, and M&A conversations, but does not maintain a disclosed balance sheet or fund structure.
What stages and sectors does Ecosummit cover?
Ecosummit targets early-stage through late-stage startups exclusively in AI, energy, climate, and deep tech. Its pitch curation filters for digital and hardware-enabled sustainability automation, with a focus on ventures that directly support decarbonisation.
Who typically attends Ecosummit?
Attendees include fundraising founders, active VCs, corporate venture groups, and service providers. The marketplace is designed to foster corporate venturing, open innovation, and M&A alongside traditional Series Seed through late-stage fundraising conversations.
How is Ecosummit different from a conference operator?
Ecosummit operates as an ongoing, curated marketplace rather than a one-off event series. Its persistent archive of over 1,600 pitch videos posted since 2010 functions as a permanent discovery layer that extends relationship origination well beyond the live events.
