Founder & Investor Breakfast Mixer
Join us for a curated breakfast bringing together founders, investors, operators, and ecosystem leaders for meaningful conversations, new connections, and actionable insights.
Through a highly interactive format, attendees will have the opportunity to discover shared interests, exchange ideas, and create valuable connections that extend well beyond the event itself.
We'll also experience a short ceremonial cacao ritual, led by Sasha Sakhar, who creates gatherings at the intersection of wellness, connection, and conscious living — for founders, teams, and creatives ready to connect beyond the surface.
In addition to networking, attendees will hear from a VC and fundraising advisor with close Silicon Valley ties, discussing the state of fundraising.
The morning will feature a special interactive session led by Dave Wolovsky, executive performance coach and facilitator.
Building a company, raising capital, and navigating uncertainty requires more than strategy and execution. It requires resilience, self-awareness, and the ability to manage emotions under pressure. Through practical exercises and guided reflection, Dave will help attendees manage stress, pitch with presence, strengthen relationships, and operate more effectively in high-performance environments.
Whether you're raising capital, deploying capital, building partnerships, exploring new opportunities, or simply looking to expand your network, this event is designed to leave you with valuable new relationships, fresh perspectives, and actionable insights.
