SUMMARY:Founder x Investor Matchmaking
DESCRIPTION:About the event\n\n\nFounder ↔ Investor Speed Matching \nA curated 60-minute session where founders and investors meet face-to-face in rapid\, thesis-aligned 1:1 conversations. \nThis is a founder intro & investor deal flow accelerator bringing together pre-seed & seed founders actively raising and investors actively deploying. \nIt’s not a webinar. It’s not a panel. And\, it’s not on Zoom! \nIt’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.\nIf you want high-signal conversations in under an hour\, get ready! \n  \n🤝 How the Room Works \n\nAll founders and investors are visible in the room\nEveryone can see who is participating before the session\nEveryone chooses who they want to meet\nYou’ll meet a new participant approximately every 5 minutes\nIf you’re vibing\, you have the option to extend the time\nMost founders will have 8–12 total conversations in one hour\n\nYou’ll meet: \n\ninvestors\, when there is mutual relevance\nother founders\, which often leads to partnerships\, referrals\, and shared intel\n\nThis is an intentional room – not a one-sided pitch environment. \n  \n🔍 How Matching Works \nFounders and investors select simple tags when registering. \nMatches are curated based on: \n\nIndustry / sector alignment\nStage (pre-seed / seed)\nRaise amount /check size fit\n\nMatches are based on relevance\, availability\, and mutual interest. \n  \n🚀 VIP Keyholders \nVIP Keyholders have more leverage in the room: \n\nincreased visibility to investors (profile placed at the top of the list)\npriority access when multiple founders request the same investor\nearlier placement into investor conversations when the energy is high\n\nVIP overrides standard mutual selection when investor demand exceeds supply. \nThis does not guarantee investment – it improves access\, positioning\, and probability in a constrained environment. \n  \n📩 Event Access & Registration Details \nOnce you register\, you’re in. \nThe event link and final instructions will be emailed 24-48 hours before the event to keep the room clean and intentional. \nJust show up on time and be ready to talk. \n  \n💼 Investors: Want In? \nYou can attend for free\, pick the founders you’d like to meet and will be matched automatically during the session.
