Berkeley's Next Wave: A Deep Tech Founder & Investor Mixer
Six founders. Two minutes each. Zero filler.
Cal Innovation Fund and Berkeley Gateway Accelerator of Future Frontier Capital are teaming up for a two-hour mixer connecting investors with the next generation of deep tech founders.
Format: Six companies, three from each portfolio: take the floor for rapid-fire pitches. These are founders building in the hard stuff: the kind of science and engineering that doesn't fit in a pitch deck template, working on problems that actually matter. After the pitches, the rest of the night is yours, open mingling with institutional investors, angels, and fellow deep tech enthusiasts over drinks and bites.
Who's in the room: Active investors across venture and angel networks, founders at the frontier of deep tech, and friends of the ecosystem who want a front-row seat to what's being built in Berkeley right now.
📍 Berkeley Gateway Accelerator HQ
🗓 Tuesday, September 1 | 2 hours, 4:30 - 6:30 PM
