Fashion and Luxury Goods Investment Forum

The Startup Club is pleased to invite you to our Fashion and Luxury Goods Investment Forum.

If you are a fashion, beauty or luxury startup looking for the next investment round, this event presents a unique opportunity for intimate networking with potential investors. If you are a Business Angel or an Investment Fund Manager, our Fashion and Luxury Goods Investment Forum will allow you to discover carefully selected, innovative companies in the industry from all around the world.

The Forum invites startups from different spectrums of the Fashion and Luxury industry to connect with the right investors: from sustainable fashion and clean beauty ventures, to technological innovations in the luxury industry overall - marketplaces, concierge services, luxury travel solutions and more.

Meet the startups: 

• Terra Ferra is a platform that allows fashion designers and entrepreneurs to tap into the power of community through crowdsourcing and early pre-sales. Our unique model allows prosumers to not only engage with the world of fashion, but also earn alongside their favorite designers as co-creators, investors, and ambassadors.
• Vashi - We invite our customers into the very heart of the jewellery making process to create personal pieces that reflect personal stories – because we believe that something you made means more than something you bought.
• Luxd - The luxury marketplace transforming how customers buy off-market luxury goods.

The event will take place in the following format:

18:00: Introduction by The Startup Club

18:10: Welcoming the Advisory Panel of Investors

18:20: Company Presentations (5-minute pitches followed by 10 minutes of Q&A each)

19:50: Concluding remarks and Informal networking online

Meet the advisory panel:

• Claudia Baumgart – Pawao Capital and Business Angel
• Marina Zubrod – Nouveau Agency and Business Angel
• Josephine Deresse – Plug and Play Tech Center
• Claire Kent - Luxury Goods Advisor and Non-Executive Director @ Prada S.A

What makes our Forum special:

- Nearly 100% of the guests are active investors, Business Angels or principals of the private equity or venture capital firms whom they represent.

- This event is "deal-oriented”, without distractions that keep the spotlight from the presenters. The events are not sponsor-supported and accordingly not heavily populated with service providers.

- Only five companies are featured on the program which provides for high visibility to investors. There are no concurrent activities or competing presentations. All companies present to the entire audience.
