Join us for an in-depth conversation with four leading investors as they break down how fundraising will evolve in 2026 - the new expectations, the metrics that matter, & how early-stage founders can position themselves to win in a rapidly shifting market.
This event is designed for founders actively exploring fundraising, & anyone building in AI, SaaS, or frontier tech. You'll walk away with a clear understanding of what investors are looking for today, what's changing, & how to adapt your strategy now so you're not left behind.
We'll explore:
How the 2026 fundraising landscape is different from the last cycle
What top investors want to see in early traction, GTM, & product velocity
How to tell a compelling story that cuts through noise
The benchmarks, proof points, & founder behaviors that actually move the needle
