On 7 October 2025, the atTRACTION project organised an interactive online networking session dedicated to evaluating the results of the “Roasting” Training Session for selected startups . The 60-minute event brought together partners, investors and experts to experience refreshed and more dynamic startup presentations delivered by the atTRACTION Champions.

Nine startups from Poland, Lithuania and Spain participated: BioDiary Labs (PL), RamaZottius Lab (LT), Brain Predict (LT), MuMa (ES), A.D.I.M. (ES), Adapt-IA Vida, TechNovator and MiCo Scientific . The format encouraged sharper, more deal-oriented communication, pushing founders to present their projects with clarity, confidence and investor focus.

The event consisted of two main elements. During the Quick Pitch session, startups delivered a classic 1-minute elevator pitch, followed by an additional 15–30 second “sharp pitch” designed to capture attention instantly. The second part, the Return Interview, introduced an innovative, gamified exchange: startups could select an investor from the audience and ask one direct question related to investment practice — ranging from valuation strategies and red flags to failed cases and personal lessons learned.

The session concluded with a live vote for the best startup presentation and the most insightful investor response, followed by audience recommendations. By combining performance-focused pitching with transparent investor dialogue, the event strengthened cross-border ecosystem engagement and supported atTRACTION’s objective of enhancing investment readiness through practical, interactive formats.
