Founder & Investor Breakfast Mixer
Join us for a curated breakfast bringing together founders ($500k+), investors, operators, and ecosystem leaders for meaningful conversations, new connections, and actionable insights.
Through a highly interactive format, attendees will have the opportunity to discover shared interests, exchange ideas, and create valuable connections that extend well beyond the event itself.
In addition to networking, attendees will hear from a select group of founders who will share their companies, fundraising journeys, growth strategies, and lessons learned while building innovative businesses. These founder spotlights are designed to spark discussion, showcase emerging opportunities, and provide valuable insights from entrepreneurs actively navigating the startup ecosystem.
The morning will also feature a special interactive session led by Dave Wolovsky, executive performance coach and facilitator.
Building a company, raising capital, and navigating uncertainty requires more than strategy and execution. It requires resilience, self-awareness, and the ability to manage emotions under pressure. Through practical exercises and guided reflection, Dave will help attendees manage stress, improve presence, strengthen relationships, and operate more effectively in high-performance environments.
We'll kick off the morning with Investor & Founder Bingo, an interactive networking challenge designed to spark authentic conversations and help attendees quickly identify shared interests, expertise, and opportunities.
Participants will connect with others to find answers to five questions, encouraging everyone in the room to engage beyond their existing networks.
Whether you're raising capital, deploying capital, building partnerships, exploring new opportunities, or simply looking to expand your network, this event is designed to leave you with valuable new relationships, fresh perspectives, and actionable insights.
