Founder brief
Who should attend
Invitations are reserved strictly for SaaS and AI founders who have reached Seed stage or beyond, alongside C-suite leaders, venture capitalists, and tech journalists. Unregistered colleagues cannot attend, as entry requires an approved application with no plus-ones permitted.
What happens
Operating as part of the NachoTuesday series, the gathering centers on informal rooftop networking over sponsored drinks and appetizers. Without formal pitching sessions, the environment emphasizes direct, one-on-one introductions and genuine conversations throughout the evening.
Who's in the room
Participants consist exclusively of screened software and AI operators, venture capital investors, media professionals, and representatives from event partners Forecastr and Revolut Business. Every attendee has passed a curated approval process.
How to prepare
Refine a concise, thirty-second summary of your company's core metrics, current traction, and market approach. Since the gathering is purely conversational, focus on identifying mutual priorities with investors and peers rather than delivering a rehearsed slide deck pitch.
