Foundry Day
Ten founders. One virtual room. A first look before anyone else.
Startup Foundry is closing out our inaugural cohort with Foundry Day, a private, invitation-only virtual showcase bringing together founders, VCs, angels, and operators.
This is a curated room of early-stage founders building across AI and frontier technologies. On September 23, they take the virtual stage.
Who this is for
Foundry Day is built for early-stage investors, angels, and VCs, both here in the US and investing globally, as well as partners and organizations looking to work with exceptional early-stage companies. If you want to meet strong founders early, this is the room.
Registration is by approval, so the room stays curated and high-signal.
Format
No long presentations. Expect sharp two-to-three-minute founder pitches and a focused fireside chat on the state of venture. A room worth being in.
10+ founder pitches
