Early-Stage B2B Founders & Funders Breakfast
Join Forum VC, YSpace, & our community partners for an intimate breakfast of early-stage founders and funders during Collision.

**All early-stage B2B actively fundraising founders and early-stage B2B-focused VCs/angels are welcome to register! This is not an official Collision event, so badges/credentials are not required.**
Ideal Guests: early-stage B2B actively fundraising founders and early-stage B2B-focused VCs/angels
