What You Actually Get
- startups at different stages, actively raising
- clear investment signals (team, traction, ask)
- direct access to founders
- live presentations with Q&A
- context from other active investors
You don’t come here to network or wait for pitches.
You come when it’s time to evaluate deals - and share your perspective.
Who Shows Up
- Angel investors actively writing checks
- VC partners and associates
- Scouts and analysts sourcing deals
- Founders in AI, Web3, HealthTech, and Tech
People here are not browsing - they come to evaluate opportunities, exchange context,
and move deals forward
People who, while operating locally, are exploring opportunities to diversify risk and engage globally.
Beyond the Event
The event is the entry point.
After participation, you get
- weekly deal flow
- direct founder introductions
- access to opportunities aligned with your thesis
Most attend once.
Serious investors stay for the pipeline.

This evening's format
Investor Connect
See what founders are building locally and have a conversation beyond an introductory email.
How the evening runs
- 01Investors arrive first and meet the hosts.
- 02Founders present short, stage-appropriate pitches. No demo theatre.
- 03The second half is one-to-one conversations, matched by thesis and stage rather than left to the crowd.
- 04Founders apply to present and investors are approved on application. A ticket alone does not put you on either list.
What you leave with
- Founders: investors who heard the story from you, not from a forwarded deck, and introductions we arrange afterwards, warm only.
- Investors: founders met in person, with the evening and the date on record, and no cold decks in your inbox.
- Both: a place in the Monday digest loop.
Who it is for
Founders raising now, pre-seed to Series A, and investors who want to meet them in person before a deck arrives. Angels, scouts and syndicate leads most often.
Why it is worth itAn introduction that starts in a room lasts longer than one that starts in a subject line. Investor attendance on a given night is never guaranteed; the base and the digest work every week.

Frequently asked
Before you book
Do I need a startup to attend?
No. The room is built around founders, but investors and operators (product, engineering, marketing, people who have done the job) are who founders come to meet. Each format says who it is for, and the event page repeats it for that evening.
Can I pitch my startup?
At Pitch Nights and Investor Connect evenings, by application. A ticket lets you attend; a separate application, reviewed by a person, puts you on the list to present. Read how pitching works before you apply.
Will investors be there?
Sometimes, and we never promise it for a given night. Investors come to Investor Connect and to some pitch nights; they are approved on application and are not used as bait. Introductions to investors are made by us afterwards, through the Monday digest, and we take no percentage of any deal.
How do I register, and where is my ticket?
Open the event page and use its ticket button. It takes you to the platform that sells that evening, Eventbrite or Luma; your ticket and confirmation come from there, to the email you used. Right after the purchase you also get two emails from us: an invitation to our Luma calendar and an invitation to your city's community. Each evening is sold in one place only, and refunds follow that ticket page's terms.
What happens after the evening?
You are in your city's community from the moment you buy the ticket: the invitation arrives with your purchase, and it opens in Slack, in the browser or in Telegram, three doors to one room. That is where the conversation continues and where the next date is announced. If you pitched, your startup enters our base with the evening and the date on record.
