August was our pilot. Here's how it performed.
Our intent 20 founders, 6 investors.
The real turnout: 30 guests: 20 founders, 10 capital allocators
$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 is today objective:
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, & making the introduction ourselves.
The goal here: Getting founders funded by our investor network.
