Builders + Backers - SXSW Brunch

​Builders + Backers - A Curated Brunch for Women Raising & Deploying Capital

SXSW is full of conversations.
This is for making decisions.

Builders & Backers brings together a curated group of female founders and investors who are actively in motion — raising capital, deploying capital, and moving real opportunities forward.

No panels.
No spectators.
Just founders and allocators at the table.

Hosted by Mercury (Joyce Chen) + Make Room Co (Maria Pope) this brunch is designed for momentum. Structured introductions. Clear asks. Real follow-up. Capital meeting conviction.
