Light DAO’s Inaugural Investor Alliance Salon
Light DAO’s Inaugural Investor Alliance Salon
A New Kind of Gathering for Investors to Connect, Collaborate & Co-Create
We’re thrilled to invite you to Light DAO’s very first Investor Alliance Salon — the official debut of our Investor Alliance and a powerful new chapter for our global community.
Light DAO is a global network of founders, funders, and innovators committed to conscious leadership, social impact, and human-centered progress.
This Salon reflects our values — creating intentional spaces for authentic connection, aligned collaboration, and purpose-driven investing.
From our 4,000+ person network, over 1,000 have self-identified as investors. Already, dozens of investments have organically emerged within our circles.
With this Investor Salon, we’re launching a more intentional and inspired path forward: to leverage AI matching to help investors meet one another, build lasting relationships, and nurture aligned startups — in a space that values connection as much as deal flow.
Not in the Bay Area or unable to attend June 16?
We’d still love to include you in the future of our new Investor Alliance.
👉 Fill out this form to be considered for upcoming gatherings and private local and global investor matches.
This is not your typical pitch event
Light DAO is known for its highly curated monthly Salons — gatherings where experienced founders, investors, and innovators come together not just to transact, but to co-create the world we want to live in — one where innovation, leadership, and capital are in service to human flourishing.
(Here are examples of our monthly evening Salons and recent weekend Retreats.)
Our Inaugural Investor Alliance Salon continues in that spirit.
You’ll experience a warm, intentional container designed to spark meaningful investor-to-investor connection — and to nurture, not evaluate, two exceptional founders. Rather than being pitched to, you’ll be invited to offer your insight, wisdom, and support to two deeply mission-aligned entrepreneurs. No pressure, no posturing — just authentic exchange.
And through our partnership with Synexis.io, we’re proud to launch a new level of investor-to-investor connection. Every guest will benefit from intelligent matchmaking designed to help you meet the right peers — those with whom you can co-invest, exchange insights, share deal flow, and collaborate on what truly matters.
📝 To qualify for this Salon and receive curated matches, please complete the approval questions thoroughly. This ensures we can place you in the most aligned groups and facilitate the highest-value connections throughout the day.

This is a space to find your people. To reconnect with purpose. And to seed collaborations with real potential.
This is where aligned capital meets purpose-driven community. We are very excited to welcome you.
For the Mission,
The Light DAO Team
