How a company gets here

A directory is only worth the door it was let in through.

Checked at the door, met in person and approved on application are records of what happened. None of them is a rating.

  1. 01

    An evening

    A room in your city: founders, investors and operators, five running formats.

  2. 02

    Checked in at the door

    Every guest is checked against a real profile on the way in.

  3. 03

    An application

    One form, read by a person. Not a scoring script.

  4. 04

    A profile here

    Published with the evening it was met at, the date and the city.

  5. 05

    The weekly digest

    Investors approved on application read it, matched to their thesis.

  6. 06

    An introduction

    Made by us when both sides want it. Never a list handed over, never cold.

That is the whole directory.

Reading it is open to everyone. What an investor application adds is the part a list cannot do: a weekly digest matched to your thesis, and an introduction made by us when both sides want one.
