Funding Fridays: Founder–Investor Mixer & Meetings

Funding Fridays: Founder–Investor Mixer & Meetings

Funding Fridays combines a founder-investor mixer with curated one-on-one introductions.

You’ll still come have drinks, network, and meet people naturally, but we’ll also schedule short private meetings between founders and investors based on interest expressed before the event.

The idea is that you get the benefit of knowing a few valuable conversations are already lined up, without losing the social side of the event.

How Funding Fridays Works

Founders create a profile.

Investors browse the founders who are attending.

If a company catches an investor’s eye, they click a button and we set up the meeting at the event.

That’s it. We handle the scheduling from there.

What the Evening Looks Like

Before the event, you’ll get an email with who you’re meeting, what time you’re meeting, and what room you’re in. We’ll handle all of the scheduling for you.

Your short meetings will be staggered throughout the venue in dedicated meeting spaces.

Everything outside of those scheduled meetings is intentionally left open. Grab a drink, work the room, meet people naturally, and have the same kind of conversations you would at any other great mixer.

We intentionally limit the number of scheduled meetings because not every valuable connection is going to come from a meeting we arranged. We want to help make some of the right conversations happen while still leaving plenty of room for the unexpected ones.

FOUNDERS — REGISTER, THEN MAKE YOUR PROFILE HERE

Create a profile for your company and share whatever you think will get the attention of the right investors.

You can drop in your website and let AI help build your profile, or add everything yourself.

Include whatever best tells your story:

• What your company does
• Website
• Pitch deck
• Traction, revenue, users, or milestones
• What makes you different
• Your team
• How much you’re raising
• What kind of funding you’re looking for
• Anything else you think investors should know

There’s no required pitch format. Show investors what you think they need to see.

It takes about 30 seconds.

Once you’re in, you’ll be able to browse the founders attending and see what they’re building, their traction, what they’re raising, and anything else they’ve chosen to share.

If someone catches your attention, click a button and we’ll make the meeting happen.

We’ll help make sure some of the right conversations happen. The rest of the night is yours.
