ABOUT
Before Bits & Pretzels officially opens, the Investor Lounge opens for an exclusive reception: a curated gathering of VCs, Angels, LPs, and key stakeholders. The Investor Reception gives you a first, unhurried point of contact with your peers before the festival ramps up and attention gets scarce. The setting is deliberately small to set the tone for the days ahead. Meeting the right people early is what turns the rest of the conference into warm follow-ups instead of cold introductions.
The Investor Lounge is your base camp for the next three days. A quiet, investor-only floor above the festival, with a matchmaking concierge on site who can broker the introductions you actually want. The Reception is the first time it opens its doors, and the easiest way to claim it as your home base before everyone else finds it.
WHAT TO EXPECT
- Free flowing. No program. The festival at its quietest
- A select inner circle before anybody else arrives. The people you would have spent three days trying to find, in one room
- Breakfast, good coffee, great conversation, and the room where you will find your people
Come before the noise. No agenda, no rush.
FOOD & DRINKS
Breakfast and hot beverages are included. No need to bring anything but good vibes!
DRESSCODE
Come as you are. Dirndl and Lederhosen are just as welcome, plenty of guests wear Tracht all three days.
GETTING THERE
The Investor Reception takes place in the Investor Lounge. Just walk straight through the venue after the registration and you will find the lounge on the first floor at the top of the escalator.
DISCLAIMER
The Investor Reception is an internal side event of Bits & Pretzels 2026. Attendance requires a valid, personalized Bits & Pretzels 2026 ticket. Registrations that do not meet this requirement will be removed without notice.
