Founder × Investor Mixer: Palo Alto
A curated, invite-only gathering bringing together SF Startup Labs founders, early-stage investors, and selected members of the Silicon Valley startup community in Palo Alto.
Our Fall cohort includes 19 exceptional pre-seed and seed startups, selected from more than 500 applications. The founders bring Fortune 10 infrastructure leadership, NASA and Deloitte PhD experience, senior roles at BCG, Workday, HP, Meta, Adobe, and Disney, YC-backed startup experience, decades of clinical and scientific expertise, and multiple repeat-founder track records.
Join top founders, investors, and ecosystem leaders for an evening of meaningful introductions, candid conversations, drinks, and light bites.
This is not a formal dinner or a pitching event. It’s a relaxed opportunity to meet promising founders, connect with active early-stage investors, and build relationships across the Silicon Valley ecosystem.
