Roundhouse Creative Business Accelerator Pitch Night

Join us for an inspiring night of creativity, innovation, and entrepreneurship at a Dragon’s Den-style pitching event, featuring the 2025 cohort of the Roundhouse Creative Business Accelerator Programme, as part of Roundhouse Three Sixty Festival.

This year, for the first time, we’re opening up a limited number of seats to young creatives aged 18-30 who are interested in seeing the pitch night in action—particularly those who may want to apply for the programme in the future.

This is your chance to watch the next generation of creative entrepreneurs pitch their ideas to a panel of experts and vote for your favourite!

What to Expect:

• Live Pitches from Rising Entrepreneurs: Creative entrepreneurs from industries including music, art, design, tech, and more will present their business ideas in front of a panel of industry leaders.
• Expert Feedback from a Panel of Industry Professionals: Hear insights from investors, corporate leaders, and creative industry experts as they give real-time feedback on the pitches.
• Audience Vote for Your Favourite: You won’t just be watching—you’ll have the chance to vote for the best pitch of the night, with the winner receiving a special prize to help grow their business.
• Live Performance: Enjoy an exclusive performance to bring the energy of the evening to life.
• Networking Opportunities: Stick around after the pitches to connect with fellow creatives, entrepreneurs, and industry professionals.

Who Can Attend?

This event is invite-only for industry professionals, but we’re opening up a limited number of spaces for creative entrepreneurs aged 18-30 who are keen to learn more about the programme.

I’M NOT SURE I CAN AFFORD TO TAKE PART…

If you need help to pay for things like project fees, transport or childcare, we can help. Find out how you can get support. If you are using a bursary to pay for the project, please ensure you arrange this with the Advice Base with plenty of time before the start of the project.

I HAVE ADDITIONAL NEEDS. WHAT SUPPORT IS AVAILABLE?

We are committed to supporting D/deaf, disabled and neurodiverse young people, those with medical conditions, access requirements or any lived experience that may require adaptation, support or sensitivity. If there is anything you would like to let us (our youth workers, tutors or staff) know that will support your enjoyment and access, you can do so by emailing us at advicebase@roundhouse.org.uk, and we will contact you to discuss further how to best support your engagement.
