NOTE: All newcomers are welcomed as we are just starting and it's still easy to catch up.
Drawing on 23 months of HDAO idea-stage founders pitching experience, this meetup lets you practice key VC concepts (sourcing, idea-stage valuation, terms negotiation, pivoting techniques, funds management, pipeline building, and more) without risking your own capital—using “funny money” in a supportive, game-like environment. Plus, we plan to invite seasoned angels and VCs to share their insights with beginners.
The meetup agenda:• Meet & Greet.• Unfundables Presentation (SVET, Co-Host).• Presentation and Conversation with Vivek Somani (VC Co-Host).• Feedback & Course Adjustments.
As this program is unique and experimental, your input will help shape future sessions to fit your needs.
