Ways to work with us

01

Share your dealflow

Deals your team shares get featured in the newsletter, credited to your fund by name, in front of the whole community. Your team also sees what everyone else is sharing.

02

Lend us a city lead

Someone junior on your team hosts 2 to 4 gatherings a year in their city, 15 to 20 people a room. It takes 4 to 6 hours a month on a 6-month term, and we pair every lead with a co-lead. For your fund it's a development track at no cost.

03

Host or sponsor a gathering

Offer a venue, or cover food and drinks for one evening. Only whoever is actually running or supporting an event gets named on it.

04

Become a founding partner

Founding and sponsoring funds get a permanent mention on this site.

What it costs

Mostly time.

No membership fee, and no event budget required to take part. For city leads, the real cost is 4 to 6 hours a month, mostly in the two weeks before an event.

Not a fund? Service providers, corporates and ecosystem organisations can host or sponsor a gathering too. Write to us and tell us what you have in mind.
