The CFT Pitch Event 2025
20th March 2025
The second annual Cambridge Future Tech x Mishcon de Reya Pitch Event took place in London, bringing together investors, founders, and supporters of early-stage DeepTech.
Across an evening of pitches, demos, and conversations, Cambridge Future Tech portfolio founders shared their progress with over 100 investors, many for the very first time.
“This pitch event is the culmination of months of effort by founders bringing, often, their first pitch to investors. Our role as a venture builder means helping world-class technical founders speak the language of investors – and vice versa.” – James Hayward, COO
Seven ventures took to the stage, each presenting a compelling opportunity built on scientific excellence.

PeroCycle is building a clean chemical process to decarbonise steel production. By capturing and recycling carbon emissions, the technology helps industrial players cut CO₂ at source.
