What you walk out with

The day works on you
for months after.

Three things a Zoom can't give you, packed into seven hours on one stage. The reason most attendees are repeat applicants the next year.

/ 01 · Pipeline acceleration

A year of warm intros, in one room.

Curated lunch placements, structured coffee breaks, and a single-stage format that puts every conversation in front of the same people. The intros you would have chased for months happen across one lunch table.

/ 02 · A read on capital

Sit across from the funds writing this cycle.

e2vc · QNBeyond · Revo Capital · APY · TİBAŞ · ScaleX Ventures, under the same roof. Hear which thesis is getting funded, which is being repriced, and what's about to dry up. Directly from the GPs, not second-hand.

/ 03 · Operating playbooks

Lessons from founders one round ahead.

AI restructuring, secondary exits, global expansion, scaling without burning capital. The decisions you'll be making in twelve months, from operators making them right now. On the record, on a single stage.

Seven hours. One stage. 12 June 2026. Apply for a seat
