The Jam | Early-stage Capital Edition
The Jam | Early-stage Capital Edition
Hosted by Movac | Sponsored by Proxi
Wednesday 22 July, 2:00pm sharp.
The Maritime Room, Princes Wharf, Auckland CBD
Raising your first institutional capital is one of the hardest things you'll do as a founder. The process is rarely linear, the proof points aren't always obvious, and the stories you hear publicly rarely capture what it actually took.
This edition of The Jam is for early-stage founders who are on that journey or getting ready to start it.
We're bringing together founders who've been through it, the pre-seed grind, the first real conversations with VCs, the pivots, the nos, and eventually the yes, to share what actually made the difference. What patterns did investors respond to? What does traction really mean at seed stage? And what does Movac specifically look for through the Emerge fund lens, for both deep tech and enterprise?
Real stories. No fundraising theatre.
Then from 5:00pm, stick around for drinks and nibbles, a chance to connect with the people in the room, continue the conversations, and meet the Movac team.
