​📌 Where is it?

​🔍 Who is this event best suited for?

• ​Seed & Series A Founders in B2B Software or Consumer (pre-seed is fine with strong traction)

• ​VC Partners and Angels who invest in the above

​We personally review each applicant using LinkedIn, websites, AngelList, Crunchbase, web traffic, mutual connections, and other sources, etc.

​We also make intros to partners who attend based on their thesis. VC Funds are welcome to cohosting, sponsorship or speaking opportunities. Please contact the host for more info.
