Reverse Pitch @ the Lighthouse
To kick-off Lightning, we're hosting a Reverse Pitch!
Raising capital is tough, but understanding what investors are actually looking for can make all the difference.
At this event, we’re flipping the script—instead of founders pitching VCs, VCs will pitch to founders.
You’ll hear directly from investors about:
• The types of companies they back
• Their check sizes and investment criteria
• What excites them and how they work with founders
Before and after the pitches, there will be drinks so you can connect with investors in a more open, candid setting.
If you’re actively fundraising or planning your next round, this is a chance to get insights and build relationships before you pitch.
You will be hearing from:
Michael Cohn, Managing Partner at Overline
Kristina Chapple, General Partner at 11 Tribes Ventures
LaSawni Reynolds, Senior Capital Associate at InvestTN
Ariella Frank, Associate at NewStack Ventures
Sarah Romanko, Associate at Geek Ventures
Todd Coulard, Investor at Marque Ventures
And our MC, Jonny Price with Wefunder!
Space is limited and focused on founders.
Thanks to our amazing sponsors of Lightning and this event!!!
Make sure to meet:
Mara, Nathan, and Jeff from Customers Bank.
Geof, Doug, and Mario from Nelson Mullins.
Tim from Topo Advisors.
Craig from Brown Advisory.
