The Venture Expo is hosted in an immersive multi-floor venue that’s built for exploration and high-signal networking.
Founders showcase their companies in expo booths, while the audience explores and engages-at their own pace.
Most of the agenda is intentionally unstructured.
What's Gatherly?
Gatherly is the perfect "home" for online communities.
Digital 'venues' are 100% custom, and support deeper belonging and culture than static video calls.
The Gatherly Venture Expo is a flagship event series we created to support a global startup ecosystem. 🌎

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to download anything? No. Everything runs in your browser. We recommend Google Chrome with your camera and microphone enabled.
Do I have to follow a set schedule? Not at all. The Expo Hall is open all day and there's no required path. Spotlight Sessions broadcast to every floor, so you won't miss them wherever you are.
Is this just another Zoom call? No. Gatherly is an immersive digital venue — you move between spaces, drop into conversations, and explore freely. It's built to feel like an in-person event.
