How it works

From first application to evidenced close.

  1. 1

    Apply

    Submit your business or mandate details and documents. You get a reference number straight away.

  2. 2

    Qualification

    The team checks eligibility, decision-making authority, funding need or mandate, readiness and fit, and asks if anything is missing.

  3. 3

    Complete your profile

    Approved participants add the information needed for matching.

  4. 4

    Matched

    Reviewers pick suitable counterparties and explain why. Nothing is forced.

  5. 5

    Both agree

    An introduction goes to both parties. A meeting is arranged only when both accept.

  6. 6

    Follow through

    Every opportunity has an owner and a next action for six months after the summit.

Before you apply

Check eligibility in a minute.

Four questions tell you what you need to have ready. It is a guide, not a decision: the Deal Room team makes that after reviewing your evidence.

Quick eligibility check

  • Is your business legally registered?
  • Do you know how much you need and what it is for?
  • Can someone with decision-making authority join your meetings?
  • Can you share financial statements?
