WHO IS THIS FOR?
Founders who are raising, or just closed their round. Sector agnostic ❤️ DOES THIS COST ANYTHING?
There's a small fee just so we can ensure attendance. It doesn't cover how much it costs to run the event, it's just to make sure we have accurate numbers for the day. If you can't cover it, just message us and we'll see what we can do. IS IT A FORMAL CONFERENCE?
No, no, no. This in what we refer to as an "anti-conference conference." Wear what you want. Just come prepared to connect with interesting people, and learn. WHAT'S THE TIME COMMITMENT?
