What is fundable? What is defensible?
How to navigate unmapped territory and strengthen narrative? Want to get early feedback and guidance from Zürich's most technical investors?
Ellipsis and Fly bring together technical, early builders in Zurich for a session to discuss the early iterations of their idea, enable you to get to know your peers and shine some light on how VCs operate.
We are specifically looking for teams that are iterating on differentiated, defensible ideas:
// Solving problems that require a proprietary data moat flywheel that large models can't scrape or synthesize
// Solving problems that combine AI with deep domain expertise - scientific or industry
// Solving high value problems using disruptive AI first technology with a strong why now
