Ascent Valley · Community Layer
The room doesn't close when the event ends.
The people you meet at an Ascent Valley event — founders, investors, operators — become relationships you keep. Matched by what you offer and what you need, carried from the room into your city and across the ecosystem.
Stay Local. Grow Global.

Functionality
What's inside
One curated space that follows the whole arc of an event — before, during, and long after.
Verified profile
A signal, not a bio. Who you are, what you offer, what you're looking for — checked by your ticket.
Curated matches
Introductions from the same room, made on substance — not a feed to scroll.
Event group
A focused chat for everyone at your event — none of the noise of a whole-city feed.
City community
After the event you land in your city's space — topics, intros, and momentum that keep going.
Live check-in & agenda
Know the run of show and who's in the room, in real time, as the event unfolds.
Post-event recap
Who you met, what happened, and what's next — the room's memory in one place.
Shared gallery
The event's photos and moments, contributed by everyone who was there.
Messages & connections
Keep the thread going. Everyone you connect with stays one tap away.
How it works
From a ticket to relationships that last
Six steps. Most of them take under a minute.
1
Get a ticket
Grab a seat at an Ascent Valley event in your city.
2
Open your link
A deep link arrives by email. Open it in Telegram or your browser — nothing to install.
3
Build your profile
Your role, your city, what you offer, and what you're looking for.
4
See who's coming
Before the doors open, get curated matches from the same room.
5
Show up
Check in, follow the live agenda, and meet the people worth meeting.
6
Keep the momentum
A recap and shared gallery land after. Your connections carry into your city — and across cities, globally.
Two ways in
Telegram or web — your call
Open the community layer inside Telegram, or sign in on the web. Almost everything works in both.
Telegram Mini App Full experience
The complete experience, right inside Telegram — nothing to install.
- Profile & curated matches
- Event group chat
- Recap & shared gallery
- City community chat
Web portal

- City community chat — Telegram Mini App only
Good to know: the city community chat lives only in the Telegram Mini App. Everything else — your profile, curated matches, event group chat, recap, and gallery — works in the browser too.
Why it matters
Relationships that compound, not business cards that pile up
Years, not a weekend
Most events give you an evening. The community layer gives you the years after it — accountability and momentum with people who remember your last update.
A verified room
Real founders, investors, and operators — checked at the door, not measured by a follower count. Signal over noise.
Stay local, grow global
Your city is home base. The ecosystem is the upside — matches and intros reach across cities when the fit is genuine.
Matched on substance
You're introduced by what you can offer and what you actually need — not by who has the loudest profile.
Profile
Your profile is your signal
Verified by your ticket. Two fields do the heavy lifting — what you offer and what you're looking for. Add a short bio and your LinkedIn, choose how far your matches should reach (local, across cities, or global), and you're set. A progress bar keeps it honest, and we prefill what we already know.

Matching
Curated intros, not a swipe feed
We look at the overlap between what you offer and what others need — inside your event's room first, then across cities and globally when the fit is there. See matches before the event, act on them after. Accept one and it becomes a connection: a direct line, one tap away. It's a suggestion engine tuned for signal — the introductions still belong to you.

Recap & shared gallery
The room's memory, after the room
When the event closes, the recap opens. It gathers who was there, the connections you made, and what comes next. Alongside it, a shared gallery collects the photos and moments contributed by everyone who showed up — so the momentum outlives the evening and there's something to come back to.
