Founder and Funder Mixer @ Vision Weekend USA 2026
Vision Weekend USA, Nov 13-15 in San Francisco, closes with tracks focused on funding frontier projects in AI for science and safety.
This Founder and Funder Mixer is our dedicated space for bringing visionary investors, pioneering founder, and researcher talent together in the following areas:
Secure & sovereign AI
Molecular manufacturing and nanotech
Neurotech and neuro AI
Space and energy
Longevity biotech
Who's in the room
Founders raising for frontier science ventures, researchers with work ready to leave the lab, and the investors looking to back them at early, or later stage: VC funds, family offices, angels, and philanthropic funders.
Every application is reviewed by Foresight so the mix stays balanced for relevant introductions.
What to expect
This is a curated gathering for the people building frontier deep tech and AI, and the people funding it, hosted at Lighthaven over dinner bites, drinks, and unhurried conversation.
Dinner bites, drinks, and open social time.
