A funded founder and investor roundtable
What are these investors thinking?! Our "Inside the Startup Investor Mind" event back in May was a hit, and founders in the room had more questions than we could answer in a single night. So we're bringing it back for round 2!
2027 is coming fast and technology is moving at the speed of light. Muse is leveraging agentic AI to do everyday tasks for us, Elon Musk has cars doing kickflips, and there are ongoing debates about whether AI is a bubble or will take over the world. One thing is not changing for founders however, and that is the need for capital and resources to scale their company. But the landscape is constantly changing and founders have questions:
- When is the right time to raise?
- How much do i need to raise?
- Is it even necessary to fundraise with all of this tech at my fingertips?
- How do I effectively use my funds after i raise
- What exactly are investors looking for and how can i make a good impression?
Join us December 1st to hear from a diverse panels of funded founders and investors about what it takes to raise money in the new year without burning your company - or mental health - to the ground. Agenda:
- 5:30 - 6:15: Networking Happy Hour
- 6:15 - 6:30: Opening Remarks from Jersey City Tech Meetup
- 6:30 - 7:15: Funded Founder and Investor Roundtable
- 7:15 - 7:30: Audience Q&A
- 7:30 - 8:30: Networking After Party
