From First Meeting To First Check: The Art Of Fundraising
Raising capital isn’t a formula. It’s a dance. It’s psychology.
The raising landscape is changing in 2026 and beyond.
It’s leaning more into trust, timing, and storytelling. The way you position yourself, read the room, and build momentum before you ever hit “share screen.”
Join us for an in depth analysis of what actually gets you from first meeting to that first check in.
Hosted by Hubble and Boardy, we are bringing the best of the best, both founders and investors who’ve been on both sides of the table — the ones who’ve heard every pitch and the ones who learned the hard way what not to say.
The panel:
Bettina Briz: Silicon Valley angel investor & board advisor with nearly 40 years scaling tech (from semiconductors to GoPro) now helping founders raise, connect and grow.
Olivia O’Sullivan: Partner & Platform Lead at Forum Ventures, builder of thriving founder communities and is dialed into investing INTO founders.
Erin O’Keefe Graham: Managing Partner & Angel Investor who builds high‐growth startup teams from culture & leadership up
Judah Longgrear: Serial tech founder (3x) with two exits and now leading North American growth at Robot.com. He knows what it takes to raise $$.
