Founder & Investor Breakfast

In addition to networking, attendees will gain valuable insights and professional headshots. After breakfast, you'll hear from a VC and fundraising advisor with close Silicon Valley ties, discussing the state of fundraising. The morning will feature a special interactive session led by Dave Wolovsky, executive performance coach and facilitator. Building a company, raising capital, and navigating uncertainty requires more than strategy and execution. It requires resilience, self-awareness, and the ability to manage emotions under pressure. Through practical exercises and guided reflection, Dave will help attendees manage stress, pitch with presence, strengthen relationships, and operate more effectively in high-performance environments. Whether you're raising capital, deploying capital, building partnerships, exploring new opportunities, or simply looking to expand your network, this event is designed to leave you with valuable new relationships, fresh perspectives, and actionable insights. Come for the new connections and get a new professional headshot! ​Agenda 10:00 AM – Networking Breakfast Meet fellow attendees over fruit, pastries, and coffee.
