Inside the event

One lunch. Six senior investors actively writing checks, and 15 to 25 founders who've raised $1M+ or are doing $1M+ in ARR.

Money being raised: $197M+ across 19 founders, up from $95M+ across 14 in August. Capital already raised: $43M+, up from $35M+ in August. Why you should be in this room Capital that's deploying now: $1M average check, $100K minimum, $10M+ in live check capacity.
