<div>Hi everyone,
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I’m reaching out with a humble heart to ask for your support. Over the past five months, my team and I have poured our hearts and souls into organizing London’s Largest Demo Day, set for April 25th. It’s been a 24/7 commitment, with weekends sacrificed and countless hours invested to create something truly meaningful for our startup community.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We have shown multiple times the incredible power of this event to bring together founders, investors, and innovators at a scale and openness rarely seen in the UK. This time around, the idea was to make tickets free to curate a high-quality audience and attract sponsors that bring mutual value to our community. Unfortunately, despite an incredible pipeline of sponsors - including many who were involved last year - most have backed out, citing current market conditions as the main reason why. We get it. But it’s gut-wrenching.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Our speaker lineup is the best we’ve ever had. We have 2,000 curated founders and supporters expected. We are pulling back the curtain on challenging topics rarely discussed - from trauma, to diversity, to ‘hidden tricks’ in raising money and how the best in the business smell out great investment deals. This is an event, come rain, shine, profit or loss, that needs to happen.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>So we face a crisis. And it won’t be a surprise that without the majority of sponsors, there is no way we can cover our costs. The event is still on. But I am drawing my last card - a coming together, if you will.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I am reaching out to you, our community, for help.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you believe in what we’re doing—building a platform for real connections, raw insights, and genuine opportunities— support us. From £1 to £10k. Every little bit helps, and it means the world to us. This GoFundMe represents the current gap between what it costs to host London’s Largest Demo Day, and what remains to find. Anything over this amount gets donated to charity.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you so much for believing in this vision and helping us make it a reality. Together, we can create something amazing for the entire ecosystem.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>With gratitude,
</div>
<div>Vasily
