[FirstGen] Founder<> Investor Speed-pitching

​About the event: This mission-driven event aims to forge vital connections between seasoned investors and promising firstgen founders. This is a unique opportunity for you to forge authentic relationships early and to meet many investors/companies quickly. 10 investors and 10 founders have been invited to attend. Investors and Founders will be paired for a short introduction and have 10 min to get to know each other. The founder will choose how formal of a pitch they want to make this interaction. We will then have the pairs rotate.

​Structure:

• ​9.30 - 9.40: Intro and seating arrangements

• ​9.40 - 10.40: 10 min x 5 founder-investor pairings

• ​10.40 - 11.00: Close and networking

​Who will attend:

• ​10 pre-seed and seed investors (most of whom are industry agnostic) many who are firstgen or immigrants themselves or have invested in many firstgen founders.

• ​10 founders that have been hand-picked by the FirstGen Team and are either already fundraising or will in the next 6 months.

​About the organizers:
FirstGen's (firstgeneration.vc) mission is to help immigrant and First Generation Founders raise their first million in funding, or get to one million in revenue. We do so by providing community, capability-building, fundraising support and customer introductions.
