Who Decides Who Gets Funded
PANEL EVENT & NETWORKING
AI is already influencing how companies are evaluated, how risk is interpreted, and how capital moves.
But when funding decisions continue to rely on familiar networks, repeat signals, and incomplete data, strong founders get missed. AI can make that problem faster, not fairer.
This session brings founders, investors, and ecosystem leaders into a focused room to examine how funding decisions are made, where bias enters the process, and what it takes to assess companies more accurately.
WHO THIS IS FOR
• Founders actively preparing to raise or currently in-market
• Investors and capital allocators actively deploying and reviewing deals
• Operators directly influencing funding decisions or pipeline development
WHAT YOU LEAVE WITH
For founders
Clarity on how you are being evaluated and where you are likely being filtered out before a decision is ever communicated.
For funders
A sharper lens on how decisions are being made today, where standard approaches create blind spots, and how to assess more accurately without lowering rigor.
