How a company gets here

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

01
An evening
A room in your city: founders, investors and operators, five running formats.
02
Checked in at the door
Every guest is checked against a real profile on the way in.
03
An application
One form, read by a person. Not a scoring script.
04
A profile here
Published with the evening it was met at, the date and the city.
05
The weekly digest
Investors approved on application read it, matched to their thesis.
06
An introduction
Made by us when both sides want it. Never a list handed over, never cold.

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

Grave Angels

Seed

A full-stack death-care platform supporting families before, during, and after the loss — from on-demand grave care to a trusted vendor marketplace and an AI funeral planner.

Grave Angels started as an on-demand grave care app — book grave and headstone cleaning, polishing, and seasonal decoration through the app, with before-and-after photos for proof of work. Live on iOS and Google Play in the US today. The seed pitch positions it as a full-stack death-care platform — grave care plus a vendor marketplace and an AI funeral planner — but only the grave care layer is shipped; the marketplace and AI planner are roadmap, not product yet.

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.
