MFG NYC Consumer Investors Showcase & Networking
This May, we’re bringing together our global community for MFG’s flagship event in New York City—an exclusive evening designed to connect Series A+ consumer brands with top-tier investors, strategic media partners, and alternative capital providers.
It’s all happening on the terrace at the MetLife Building, with drinks, music, and one unforgettable view.
But here’s the twist!
We’re flipping the traditional format with reverse investor pitches. 15 consumer investors will take the stage to introduce their funds to the MFG community, each with five minutes to present, followed by a quick three-minute Q&A.
If you’re a Series A+ B2C brand actively fundraising—or planning to—this is the room you want to be in.
What happens at the event?
3:30 – 4:00 PM | Registration & Welcome (MFG CEO Diana Florescu, Paul Hastings LLP Partner, Jeff Hartlin)
4:00 – 5:15 PM | Investor Presentations
5:30 – 9:00 PM | Networking, Drinks & Canapés
We’ll also host select 1:1 meetings between pitching investors and founders from the MFG portfolio for focused, high-impact conversations.
Why a reverse investor pitch?
Pitching to investors takes a chunk of time and loads of energy, and every rejection takes a little chip out of the soul. As a founder, you have hundreds of other things to do. This format flips the dynamic, helping founders discover which funds align with their mission before they invest their time.
What do you mean by “Consumer Investor”
We define consumer investors broadly: VCs, CVCs, angels, syndicates, and alternative finance providers backing businesses that serve or monetize mass audiences—whether in CPG, e-commerce, media, fintech, health, or the creator economy.
This includes equity, debt, media capital, revenue share, and other innovation-aligned capital structures.
If you’re a Series A+ B2C brand actively fundraising—or planning to—this is the room you want to be in.
If you’re a consumer VC, CVC, or family office brave enough to pitch in front of 100+ founders, reach out to the host. A limited number of speaking slots remain.
