Web Summit Lisbon 2026 Side Events/Meet investors and VCs

Fundraising guide

Where to Meet Investors During Web Summit Lisbon 2026

This guide narrows the directory to higher-priority events that explicitly include investors, VCs, angels, family offices, allocators or fundraising founders in their audience.

How this guide works

How events are selected

The selection uses the Investors / VC category and a minimum 2-star editorial rating. It excludes generic networking events that do not clearly identify an investor audience.

Before you register

  • Match the room to your stage: pre-seed pitch events, VC networking and allocator gatherings serve different goals.
  • Prepare a concise introduction that covers the problem, traction, round and the specific investor profile you want to meet.
  • Do not assume an investor-only event accepts founders; verify eligibility on the official registration page.

Investor networking and fundraising events

Access models vary: some events welcome founders, while others are reserved for investors or require approval. Read the Best for and Access fields before applying.
