Curated VC × Founder Mixer [75 Investors · VCs · Angels · FOs · CVCs] | Sept 21 · SF
Not another networking night.
A room that was screened on purpose.
⚠️ All registrations are subject to review!
⏰ Limited number of tickets; prices are growing from $149 to $349. Every tier is limited; don't be late to get yours!
A curated evening where founders who are actually raising meet investors who are actually investing. Both sides are screened before the doors open. Plus a panel with five different types of capital: venture funds, family offices, angels, angel groups, LPs, IBs, and corporate VC.
🥛🥪 Drinks and light bites throughout the evening.
At Synexis, we don't drive volumes; we drive value.
Most founder-investor mixers run on volume. You buy a ticket, walk into a hall of hundreds, and work the room blind. Most conversations feel promising. You leave with a stack of contacts, and most threads quietly die in your inbox – and you never find out that half the "investors" in the room were not investing at all.
As an investor, how many useless conversations do you have visiting events? Startups that are not there yet...
We built this evening the other way around. Before the doors open, both sides are reviewed.
Founders are screened. No non-startups, no idea-stage companies that are years away from a raise. Everyone in the room is building something real and either raising now or preparing to.
Investors are verified. We check that the people listed as investors are actually deploying capital – VCs, family offices, angels, corporate and strategic investors.
That is the whole point. Not the size of the room – who is in it.
We don't sell access. We assemble the room.
🚀 What you get as a founder
A screened room. Your time goes to real investors, not to people collecting business cards.
Seven kinds of capital in one evening. Most founders only ever talk to VCs. You will hear directly from venture funds, angel groups, family offices, corporate CVCs, individual angels, and investment banks – on stage, they will talk about how each decides, what check they write, and how to approach them, and you will talk to 75 of them in the room.
The investor lineup, published in advance. You know who is in the room before you buy a ticket.
Real conversations, not pitch slots. No pitching from the stage. Time to actually talk.
🏆 A concierge table option. Take a startup table and we select the investors most relevant to what you are building and route them to your table through the evening.
🔥 Investor lists will be published in the next 2 weeks.
We assembled 150 GPs, FOs and LPs at our event in Las Vegas this year (more about us below).
💼 What you get as an investor (complimentary, by approval)
Free entry. Verified investors attend at no cost.
Screened founders. Reviewed for stage, sector, and whether they are genuinely raising. No tourists, no idea-stage noise.
No one pitching at you from a stage. This is a conversation format by design.
Co-investors in the room. VCs, family offices, angels, CVCs and LPs.
🏆 A concierge table option. Take a table, and we select the companies that fit your thesis and route them to you throughout the evening, so you don't have to work the room yourself.
Agenda
5:30 PM – Doors open, curated networking starts, concierge tables running
7:00 PM – Panel: Where the money actually comes from (45 min)
7:45 PM – Networking continued, concierge tables running
9:30 PM – Close
The panel: Where the money actually comes from
We will also host a top-end conversation on venture capital.
Forty-five minutes, five perspectives, one practical question: who actually writes the first check, and what does each of them need to see?
Investment Bank – how institutional capital and later-stage processes really work
Limited Partner (LP) – where fund money originates, and what LPs look for in managers
Family Office – direct investing, longer horizons, different criteria
Venture Capital – thesis, stage, check size, timelines
Corporate / Enterprise CVC – strategic capital, pilots and partnership-driven investment
Check sizes, timelines, decision-making processes, and how to approach each.
🔥 Speakers to be announced soon!
Why Synexis?
Synexis is decision infrastructure for private markets. We built an AI-native layer that turns months-long deal funnels into minutes – processing inbound, shared and syndicated dealflow, scoring companies against real investor theses, and running on first-party data from founders rather than scraped databases. Investors and enterprises use it to cut screening and diligence time dramatically and to reach the right companies sooner.
But infrastructure alone does not build relationships. A deal can be set up by an algorithm – it closes in person. So to deliver that value in the real world, we run highly curated, vetted events for startups, investors and private market players. Rooms where both sides are verified before anyone walks in, where investors are checked on whether they actually deploy, and where the conversation is relevant by design rather than by luck. That is what we have been building for the past two years, and it is why the people in our rooms keep coming back.

Our venue partner
We're hosting the evening in partnership with Werqwise, and the space is genuinely part of what makes this event work.
Werqwise runs premium workspaces across San Francisco, San Mateo, and the UK, and we celebrate innovation this time at their flagship at the base of Telegraph Hill – a bright, two-floor space anchored by a stunning double-height mezzanine and community lounge, with floor-to-ceiling windows, and a rooftop deck with Bay views and a fire pit.
It is one of the better spaces in the city for exactly this kind of evening: open enough to move around and meet people, intimate enough that real conversations actually happen. We're glad to be doing this together with them.

Synexis - AI decision infra for private markets.
Synexis is an AI-native decision infrastructure that turns months-long private-market deal funnels into minutes.
Private-market deals still rely on fragmented tools, static databases, and manual analyst workflows that take months. Every player: founders, GPs, investors, enterprises, private equity, play the guess game. Synexis replaces this with an AI-native infrastructure for real-time investment decisions. Cut through the noise.
