What to look forward to
A 12-person evening will bring vetted seed-to-Series A founders and enterprise operators together for beginner-friendly pickleball and dinner, with candid discussion about what gets AI startups bought, and what kills a deal. Arceus, an AI-native legal service backed by Greycroft, Craft Ventures, Conviction, and South Park Commons, will partner on the event.
Inside the event
12 Scrappy Founders - outdoor endurance community for founders, operators & investors in the Bay Area.
What is this? Founders and enterprise operators usually meet in the worst possible setting: a cold email, a demo call, a pilot that dies in procurement.
We try to fix that. Pickleball first (beginner friendly!), because it's hard to stay in sales mode with someone you just lost a game to. Then dinner/drinks, 12 people, 1 topic: what makes a large company buy from an AI startup and what kills the deal.
Who is it for? Execs and operators from mid-market and enterprise companies Founders (seed to Series A) selling to mid-market/enterprises 12 seats total. Everyone vetted.
