🚀 VC Connect | Founders × Funders Roundtable
[ Ahead of Startup World Cup Belgium 2026 ]
VC Connect is an exclusive roundtable bringing together startups and venture capital investors for direct, high-impact conversations . Think "mini investor summit" rather than pitch night: no stage, no audience, just focused 1:1 access to the people who write the checks.
This session takes place ahead of the first-ever Startup World Cup Belgium regional final, brought to Belgium by Startup&Angels together with Le Village by CA (powered by Degroof Petercam) and BeCentral . VC Connect (afternoon) and the Startup World Cup pitch final (evening) are two distinct events on September 30 — each with its own registration.
💬 What to expect
2-5 angel investors + 2-5 VC investors, ready to share insights
20 selected startups
10-minute founder–investor conversations
Closing networking session
💡 Why attend
Gain direct investor access , receive strategic feedback, and connect with the people funding innovation in Belgium.
👥 The Investors

🤝 Who is this for?
This session is reserved for the 10 startups selected for VC Connect. If you're one of the founders shaping the future of innovation in Belgium, this is direct, unfiltered access to the people who can back your next round.
🎟 Spots are limited to selected startups — registration required.
