Founder/Investor Link
Founder Investor Link: Connect. Pitch. Learn. Close.
This event is designed to bring together ambitious founders and active investors in one room.
Who should attend?
🚀 Founders
• Founders actively raising their Seed or Series A round.
• Series A founders looking to expand their network and share their knowledge.
🚫 Important: Founders currently raising Pre-Seed funding will not be admitted.
🏦 Investors
• Investors seeking to support Seed and Series A founders.
❌ Service providers/advisors outside of our partner network will not be admitted.
Why this event?
Startups are working in silos, investors are overwhelmed with opportunities, and service providers are struggling to connect with the right startups.
We’re taking ownership.
How it works?
🎯 For Founders:
If you choose to pitch:
1. We will reach out to request your pitch deck or video pitch.
2. With your consent, your deck will be shared with our investor partners.
3. The top 3 startups, selected by our investor partners, will pitch live at the event.
4. Even if you’re not selected, your pitch will be reviewed by top investors, and you’ll still have the chance to receive introductions after the event.
If you choose not to pitch, you can still attend to gain valuable insights, witness investor interactions, and expand your network.
💼 For Investors:
If you choose to evaluate, we’ll contact you and guide you through the process and next steps.
If you prefer to observe, you’re welcome to attend and engage with founders looking for Seed/Series A funding.
