Founder brief

Who should attend

Attendance is limited to SaaS and AI founders who have raised at least a Seed round, alongside C-suite executives from growth-stage software companies. Investors, venture capitalists, and tech media covering the enterprise software and artificial intelligence sectors will also find the gathering relevant.

What happens

The gathering runs as an informal networking mixer with sponsored drinks and food. There are no structured pitch sessions or formal stage presentations, leaving founders free to have candid, private conversations with potential financial backers and strategic enterprise partners throughout the evening.

Who's in the room

Expect an invite-only group of vetted founders, corporate executives, venture capitalists, and media figures. The room is hosted by NachoNacho alongside sponsors Pilot, Revolut Business, Forecastr, Deel, Shopline, and Veel, meaning operational and financial service leaders will be on hand.

How to prepare

Submit your application early and make sure your startup background clearly demonstrates Seed funding or beyond. Since plus-ones are barred and entrance is strictly enforced for approved guests only, ensure each team member registers individually and come ready with a clear conversational summary of your current traction.
