August was our pilot. Here’s how it performed.
Our intent 20 founders, 6 investors.

$70M+ raised collectively by the founders present
$3.5M average raised per founder
$2.3B+ combined AUM across the investors
$1M average check, $100K minimum
$10M+ in live check capacity
This event our objective: 20 founders. 10 investors.
Every founder in the room is doing $1M+ in ARR or has raised a round of $1M or more.
Raised your 1st round, onto your 2nd, or bootstrapped to $1M ARR? You’re in the right place.
Every investor here is from our network. We’re curating this room deliberately, matching founders to the investors most likely to be a fit, and making the introduction ourselves.
The goal here: Getting founders funded by our investor network.

Why we do this
Our intent is simple: bring good, smart humans together, put active investors in the same room as incredible founders. Intentional community has been lost. We're rebuilding it.
