💡 What is this?
It’s The Dating Game — TCVN style.
We’re swapping roses for term sheets and small talk for real conversations.
This is your chance to meet your perfect startup match in a format that’s fun, founder-focused, and way less chaotic than your typical networking grind.
🎬 How it works
We’re running 5 rounds of pure investor-founder matchmaking magic:
Each round:
➡️ 1 investor sits behind the iconic wall.
➡️ 3 founders take the hot seats on the other side.
The game:
The investor gets 10 minutes to ask real, revealing, and insightful questions — to figure out which founder might be their perfect startup match.
Founders answer in style, showing off their personality, grit, and what makes them fundable.
💞 The best part?
At the end of each round, the investor chooses their favorite founder to take out on a 1:1 “investor date” on the funder’s dime — whether it’s dinner, cocktails, or a strategy session over coffee.
The other two founders don’t leave empty-handed — they’ll each snag a fun prize to keep the night sweet.
🥂 Why we’re doing it this way
At our last Angel Investor Speed Dating, the feedback was clear: too loud, too rushed, too many business cards, not enough real connections.
So we’re dialing it back — spotlighting just 3 founders at a time, giving investors the floor to truly engage, and making sure everyone actually gets heard. Plus, with a live band and 60s-70s theme, it’s more than just deal flow — it’s a party.
🎸 Come for the matchmaking, stay for the vibe
✨ 60s & 70s cocktail attire is encouraged — think Mad Men, retro, elegant, and fun.
🎤 Enjoy live music, retro cocktails, and TCVN’s trademark founder-first community.
🚀 Watch the sparks (and maybe the next term sheet) fly.
