Founder brief

Who should attend

Seed-stage entrepreneurs developing frontier technologies or working across sectors will benefit most, particularly if actively navigating an upcoming fundraising sprint. Founders looking to de-risk their seed rounds through direct investor interaction and formal stage presentations should plan to secure a ninety-nine dollar ticket.

What happens

Proceedings kick off at 17:00 as part of a forty-eight-hour fundraising sprint run by Founders Village. The schedule features focused investor panel discussions addressing funding risk, seed-stage pitching tactics, an onstage Deep Tech pitch competition, and open mixer sessions across November 19 and 20.

Who's in the room

Venture capitalists seeking early frontier-sector ventures gather alongside seed founders and the Founders Village team. Attendees include deep tech innovators and generalist startup operators focused on raising capital and learning how investors currently evaluate technical and commercial risk.

How to prepare

Refine a concise pitch that highlights technical defensibility, market application, and clear milestones for seed capital. Come ready to discuss your development timeline comfortably during networking sessions, and prepare specific talking points about how your venture mitigates key technology and execution risks.
