Ask HN: Need more ideas to attract investors to demo day (in Copenhagen)

33 points by bootcampdk ↗ HN
I run Startupbootcamp in Copenhagen.  I've been squeezing our network and trawling the web but would appreciate more sources and ideas.

I've reached out to the main blogs but I'm not sure all angels read blogs (in Europe).  

I've also:

-downloaded the EBAN (European Business Angel Network) and (X)VCA (country X Venture Capital Association) member lists

-done keyword searches in LinkedIn

-tapped into our mentor and investor network for personal introductions

I am looking for more ideas to reach out to investors in Europe (and if anyone beyond Europe is interested in talking feel free to contact me, details in my profile).

Note that our event is open to non-investors as well, drop by if you're in the neighborhood.

90 signed up so far ;) a portion of which are investors, expect north of 150.

This is the culmination of 3 months of 24x7 work for our ten teams(1) and they're dying to show off their stuff!

(1) Our entrepreneurs are from Denmark, Romania, UK, Lithuania, Nigeria, Germany, Latvia, Argentina, Portugal, Iceland, and Russia!

I will join as well - I have spent time with many of the start ups in the program, and they are making great progress

You can try to contact other European startup groups. They may have some people willing to go to Copenhagen.

In Belgium there is http://www.betagroup.be
