Afore Capital's 8th Annual Pre-Seed Summit
Join Us for Afore Capital’s 8th Annual Pre-Seed Summit!
We are excited to invite you to the premier event for emerging founders, early-stage investors and fast-growing pre-seed-through-Series A startups. Our annual Pre-Seed Summit is a gathering of the brightest minds and boldest innovators in the early-stage ecosystem.
This year, hear from Adarsh Hiremath, Co-Founder & CTO of Mercor, Josh Reeves, Co-Founder & CEO of Gusto, and Aaron Katz, Co-Founder & CEO of ClickHouse, interviewed by the investors and teammates who have partnered with them on this journey. We'll discuss strategies and battle stories that have propelled these three juggernauts from pre-seed beginnings to growth and beyond.
Since inception in 2016, Afore Capital has focused on empowering startups at the earliest stages, providing critical pre-seed funding and experienced mentorship to help founders achieve product-market fit on the road to scale.
Space is limited! Please request to join and we will approve registration in order to curate a balanced audience of founders and investors.
