SEEN SUMMIT 2026

Founders building something real. Investors looking past the obvious. Operators, creatives, and partners who know the next big idea doesn't always look like the last one. If you're building, backing, or believing in the future of NYC tech — this is your room. WHAT'S ON DECK SEEN isn't built around a single stage. It's three tracks, running together, all day long. 🎙️ FIRST HAND — PANELSDirect, unfiltered conversations with the people who actually make the decisions. Are You Fundable? — What traction really means for B2B, consumer, and hardware founders (and why it's not the same answer for any of them) What's Your Moat? — Defensibility in the age of AI 🛠️ HANDS ON — WORKSHOPSBuilt around one rule: leave with something made, not just something heard. The Story Before the Slide — Crafting your fundraising narrative Pitch It Forward — Build investor relationships before you need them Your Financials Are Part of the Pitch — A working session on use-of-funds and pre-raise financial readiness ✨ OFF HAND — ACTIVATIONSBrand and wellness experiences woven throughout Industry City, all day. Designed to pull you out of pitch mode — into the city, into your body, into the reason you started. 🥂 LIVE PITCH SHOW​​Witness the high-stakes drama of startup funding! Don't miss a live, exclusive taping of The Pitch podcast at the 2025 SEEN Summit. Just like the hit podcast, you'll watch real entrepreneurs pitch to top-tier investors for real money—all in front of a live audience. See the deals happen (or die on the vine!) and learn exactly what it takes to get funded. This is your chance to go behind the scenes of venture capital. Space is limited. Secure your ticket now and be in the room where it happens!🍽️ FUELED RIGHT Breakfast to start, lunch to keep you sharp, and a happy hour finale to celebrate everything you built, pitched, and connected over. Program, sessions, and speakers are subject to change. Final agenda will be released early fall.
