Founder Showcase
Five founders present to a group of investors and operators in San Francisco. It's the fastest way we know to turn a new arrival into someone the community already knows.
The format
Five founders, five minutes each
No decks over ten slides, no panel discussions. Just what you're building, who it's for, and what you need next.
People who can actually help
Investors, operators, and founders who've solved the problem you're describing. Everyone is there because we invited them.
An hour of unstructured time after
The showcase is the excuse. The conversations afterwards are the reason people come back.
Who should present
We keep the bar simple and the group small. Most of the founders who present are international, and most of them are new here.
- You've moved to San Francisco recently or you're here for a few weeks
- You have something working: users, revenue, a shipped product, or a live pilot
- You can explain what you need in one sentence
- You're willing to come back and help the next cohort
If you're an investor
The showcase is a good way to meet founders arriving from outside the United States. Seats are limited and go to investors whose focus fits the founders presenting.
