Stealth Founders Only

​TL;DR This session is for stealth pre-VC founders shaping an early concept and preparing for an eventual first round of external capital.

​Who:

• ​Stealth founders only

• ​Operators not yet raising and considering launching a startup

• ​Builders already validating an idea before engaging investors

​What:

• ​15-minute overview from Maria (ex-operator and solo GP) and Henrik (angel and partner at Playfair VC) covering strategic insights and tactical advice, e.g:

  • ​Key inflection points from finding a co-founder to the right initial wedge

  • ​How to build a strong narrative (team x market opportunity)

  • ​How to rally investor interest + judge when inbound investor interest is useful rather than distracting

• ​15-minute breakout rooms

  • ​Founders in smaller groups to share direct experiences and best practices

• ​30-minute open Q&A

  • ​Ask Maria and Henrik anything (no BS)

​Why:
• A grounded view of what must be validated before a raise
• A narrative investors can plausibly accept
• Clarity on the signals that shape a credible first check
