Build, Raise, Exit: An AI Founder & Investor Breakfast
What does it take to build an AI company that someone wants to buy? And how early should founders be thinking about it?
Join Raisi and Reitler for an intimate breakfast with a curated group of seed and Series A founders and investors. We'll explore M&A as an exit path for AI companies: how acquisitions happen, what buyers look for, and how decisions around building and fundraising can shape future opportunities.
The breakfast will feature a live podcast interview recording, with room to ask questions, exchange perspectives, and join the conversation.
We'll explore:
Building with an exit in mind: Positioning your company for a potential acquisition while building a strong, independent business.
Raising with alignment: How funding decisions and investor expectations influence exit opportunities.
Understanding the process: How relationships with potential buyers develop and what happens as an acquisition takes shape.
Expect a candid conversation in a small room, with time to connect over breakfast.
Date & time: September 10, 2026, from 8:30 to 11:30 a.m. ET
Location: Reitler's office, Manhattan
Breakfast will be served.
Attendance is limited and subject to approval. Join the waitlist to request an invitation.
