Deal Room - Founders Circle Athens #3
Raising capital is one of the hardest parts of building a company. At the same time, investors are constantly looking for founders worth backing. So why is there still so much confusion between the two sides?
Deal Room brings angels, venture capitalists, corporate investors, founders, and ecosystem leaders into one room for an open conversation about how investment decisions are truly made.
This is not a pitch event. It is a live dialogue.
The session features an investment committee-style panel representing different investor groups. Founders can ask direct questions about what investors look for, why some deals move forward while others do not, and how decisions are made around risk, traction, timing, and team dynamics.
We go beyond pitch decks to discuss the real factors that drive capital allocation.
If you are preparing to raise, actively investing, or building the ecosystem, this is a room you should be in.
