Where you meet your next investment.
Around 200 vetted, fundable founders. A room capped at 100 investors. A 2:1 founder-to-investor ratio and a double opt-in meeting system — so every introduction is worth your time.
Built for how investors actually work.
Many investors come as much for the quality of the investor peer group as for access to founders. Turing Fest gives you both.

I found one of my favourite investments at Turing Fest — we ended up leading their seed round.
Being part of Turing helps us actively support a thriving technology sector, and connects us with the founders and investors shaping it.
It's very rare to have the quality of attendees that you find at Turing — that's what makes this the best tech event in Europe.
