Vibe Your SaaS: Startup Pitch Competition + VC/Founder Mixer @ Entrepreneurs First
We are an unofficial SaaStr partner, and if you bring your SaaStr badge, you’re in!
Join hosts Gregory Kennedy (Vibe Your Saas) and Arjun Dev Arora (Advisor to Founders & VCs) for an invite-only VYS gathering in San Francisco. This is not a “networking event.” It is a room full of people actually building the next wave of world-changing companies.
Hosted by
Entrepreneurs First (EF) turns exceptional individuals into funded founders. Some might have an early idea, others may need a cofounder. What matters is their potential. We back these founders first, then give them a bridge to Silicon Valley. To date, their companies are worth > $16B.
