Funding Fridays: Founder–Investor Mixer & Meetings
Funding Fridays combines a founder-investor mixer with curated one-on-one introductions.
You’ll still come have drinks, network, and meet people naturally, but we’ll also schedule short private meetings between founders and investors based on interest expressed before the event.
The idea is that you get the benefit of knowing a few valuable conversations are already lined up, without losing the social side of the event.
How Funding Fridays Works
Founders create a profile.
Investors browse the founders who are attending.
If a company catches an investor’s eye, they click a button and we set up the meeting at the event.
That’s it. We handle the scheduling from there.
What the Evening Looks Like
Before the event, you’ll get an email with who you’re meeting, what time you’re meeting, and what room you’re in. We’ll handle all of the scheduling for you.
Your short meetings will be staggered throughout the venue in dedicated meeting spaces.
Everything outside of those scheduled meetings is intentionally left open. Grab a drink, work the room, meet people naturally, and have the same kind of conversations you would at any other great mixer.
We intentionally limit the number of scheduled meetings because not every valuable connection is going to come from a meeting we arranged. We want to help make some of the right conversations happen while still leaving plenty of room for the unexpected ones.
Registration and Profiles
Choose Investor, Founder, or Just Networking when you RSVP. Every registration is reviewed before approval.
Founders — register, then make your profile
Create your founder profile. Share whatever will get the attention of the right investors: what your company does, your website, pitch deck, traction, team, amount you’re raising, and the kind of funding you’re seeking.
There’s no required pitch format. Show investors what you think they need to see.
Investors — register, then make your profile
Create your investor profile. It takes about 30 seconds. Once you’re in, you can browse the founders attending, see what they’re building, and request meetings with the companies that catch your attention.
We’ll help make sure some of the right conversations happen. The rest of the night is yours.
