Founder Game Night + Fundraising Conversation @ Corgi Cafe w/ Corgi's CEO & Raisi
Raising right now? Love games and free food/ drinks? This is a good room to be in.
You’ve probably spent time thinking about how to raise.
Who to talk to, how to position it, what actually matters.
But most of that thinking happens alone, or in conversations that don’t go very deep.
This is a chance to be in a room with other founders doing the same thing.
We’re hosting a founder-focused evening at Corgi Cafe in San Francisco.
Come by after work, grab coffee or a smoothie, play some board games, and spend time with founders who are actively building and thinking about their next round.
We’ll also have a conversation with Nico Laqua, CEO of Corgi, who raised $108M coming out of Y Combinator, sharing how he approached fundraising and what actually moved the needle.
What we’re doing:
Board games and open tables so it’s easy to meet people
Fundraising conversation cards on each table to spark real discussions
A short conversation with Nico Laqua on his fundraising experience
A dedicated table where you can talk through your raise, materials, or approach with the Raisi team
You’ll walk away with:
A clearer sense of how strong founders are raising right now
Perspective on your own fundraising approach
Conversations with founders at a similar stage
A few people you’ll likely stay in touch with
Perfect for:
Founders raising now
Founders planning to raise in the next 6 months
