What a VC Actually Thinks When You Pitch 💼

Discover what every first-time founder needs to know about the investor pitch process! This event aims to uncover the hidden truths that you may miss while presenting to investors.

Join us for an engaging fireside chat featuring Yousuf Khan — Founder & CEO of Clario, five-time CIO, and Venture Partner at Ridge Ventures. With his unique experience of being on both sides of the table, he’ll share insights on what truly separates successful pitches from others. This is your chance to learn directly from someone who has evaluated hundreds of presentations and understands the nuances of the investing process.

Moderated by Benjamin Tu, Founder of Centerpoint Spaces, this isn’t just a panel discussion. It's an open conversation designed to reveal the perspectives that are often left unsaid in the boardroom.

What You'll Walk Away With:

• A clearer understanding of investor evaluations and the common pitfalls founders face.
• Practical insights on how to effectively frame your market, team, and funding request.
• The confidence to approach your next investor meeting fully prepared.
• Valuable connections with fellow founders and investors who share a commitment to purpose.

Who This Is For:

This event is crafted for first-time and aspiring founders who are passionately building meaningful ventures beyond just profit. Additionally, investors, operators, and professionals interested in genuine discussions are most welcome!
