Planning your first trip to Silicon Valley when you’re not quite ready to raise? It can be hard to know who to meet, what to ask, and how to make the visit worthwhile. Join the Apex Team, Nicole Levin from Pebblebed, and Amit Yampolsky, CEO and co-founder of Rizz, for an open evening about approaching that first trip with purpose, even before fundraising is on the agenda.
We’ll explore the questions that come up between booking the flight and walking into your first meeting: how to introduce what you’re building, which conversations to prioritize, and what you want to learn while you’re there. Bring your questions, whether you have a trip lined up or are still deciding if now is the right moment to go.
Join us on October 29 at Apex Israel in Tel Aviv for a thoughtful conversation about making your first visit count, without feeling you need to arrive with a fundraising pitch ready.
