Founder ↔ Investor Speed Matching A curated 60-minute session where founders and investors meet face-to-face in rapid, thesis-aligned 1:1 conversations. This is a founder intro & investor deal flow accelerator bringing together pre-seed & seed founders actively raising and investors actively deploying. It's not a webinar. It's not a panel. And, it's not on Zoom! It’s a high-intent room where every conversation is engineered for relevance and momentum. If you enjoy waiting weeks for replies that never come, this is not for you. If you want high-signal conversations in under an hour, get ready! 🤝 How the Room Works All founders and investors are visible in the room Everyone can see who is participating before the session Everyone chooses who they want to meet You’ll meet a new participant approximately every 5 minutes If you're vibing, you have the option to extend the time Most founders will have 8–12 total conversations in one hour You’ll meet: investors, when there is mutual relevance other founders, which often leads to partnerships, referrals, and shared intel This is an intentional room - not a one-sided pitch environment. 🔍 How Matching Works Founders and investors select simple tags when registering. Matches are curated based on: Industry / sector alignment Stage (pre-seed / seed) Raise amount /check size fit Matches are based on relevance, availability, and mutual interest. 🚀 VIP Priority VIP founders have more leverage in the room: increased visibility to investors (profile placed at the top of the list) priority access when multiple founders request the same investor earlier placement into investor conversations when the energy is high VIP overrides standard mutual selection when investor demand exceeds supply. This does not guarantee investment - it improves access, positioning, and probability in a constrained environment. 📩 Event Access & Registration Details Once you register, you’re in.
