Join us for an intimate Fundraising Breakfast featuring Chris Wake, General Partner at Atypical Ventures. Chris will share his perspective on backing founders at the earliest stages, drawing on Atypical’s focus on pre-seed and seed investments and its conviction around supporting technical founders with empathy. He will speak to what differentiated investors look for, how overlooked or “edge-case” startups can stand out, and where meaningful opportunities are emerging across health, wellness, and high-growth sectors.
He will also offer a candid look into capital access, pattern recognition, and how founders can strategically position themselves, from refining their narrative to sharpening go-to-market, to raise and deploy funding with confidence.
This conversation is designed for founders, investors, and operators who believe that investing in women is not just a social imperative, but a market opportunity. Expect a high-signal, thoughtfully moderated discussion, followed by intentional connection over breakfast. This is a curated, invite-only gathering centered on meaningful dialogue, strategic relationships, and actionable insight.
