You've been workshopping your idea with ChatGPT, not real founders. This event fixes that. Themed tables, 5 live pitches, one SF room - 3 hours.
Ascent Valley brings together San Francisco founders, investors, operators, & builders for structured themed conversations & live startup pitches. Groups form by professional background - we use your LinkedIn at registration, not random seating. Each group's rep shares their key takeaway on stage. Five curated founders then pitch live to investors & receive direct feedback & introductions. The bar stays open after. Most repeat attendees say that's where the real value lands.
In the room: investors & angels, founders Pre-seed to Series A across SaaS, AI, ClimateTech, FinTech, ConsumerTech, accelerator scouts, operators, & hiring leads from scaling companies.
