Investor Connect: Pitch & Deal Flow Night | San Francisco
Overview
Most pitch nights are built for founders. This one is built for whoever writes the check. 3–5 startups, list on request, free if approved.
Most pitch events are built for the founders on stage. This one is built for the person deciding whether to write the check.
Three to five founders present in San Francisco. Five minutes each, then live Q&A.
The startup list is available before the night, on request.
Free for investors approved on application. Paid tickets for everyone else.
What you actually get
• Companies at different stages, with the stage and the ask stated upfront
• The basics on one screen: team, traction, the ask
• The founders themselves, in the same room, without scheduling a call
• Live Q&A: ask what you'd ask on the first call
• Context from the other angels and scouts in the room
Who shows up
• Angels and scouts from our investor base: 370+ people, 12 funds, 7 syndicates (Sept 2026)
• VC partners and associates
• Founders in AI, Web3, health tech and software who applied and were read by a person
You don't come here to network or wait for pitches.
You come when it's time to look at deals, and to say what you think.
After the night
The evening is the entry point, not the whole thing.
• Intros arranged by us, warm only, when a company fits what you look for
• Our weekly digest for investors
• A seat at the next evening in any of our 18+ cities
Access
🎟 General admission: paid
✅ Investor access: free, approved on application at
Approval keeps the investor side of the room useful.
We make introductions. We don't make deals.
