Building is lonely, and your friends can't help with the hardest part.

Ascent Valley is a founders & investors network built as one system rather than one event: evenings where founders meet a room that answers, a community layer between them, and an investor base where introductions are made by us and never cold. Every attendee is checked against a real profile, and checked in at the door.

Pitch nights and mixers for founders, investors and operators in 18+ cities across 13 countries — New York, San Francisco, Toronto, Boston, Chicago, Miami, Palo Alto, San Jose, Los Angeles, Montreal, Amsterdam, Zurich, Sydney, Melbourne, Dubai and more.

How an evening runs: topic tables first, then five founders on stage for five minutes each, then questions from the room, then the hour after.

What we don't do: we don't promise who will be in the room, we don't take equity or a cut of your round, and nobody can charge you to be put in front of investors here. We make introductions. We don't make deals.

A deal-flow product, a founder knowledge base and a request bank are in development. They are not available today.
