On January 30, we are hosting an online investor–founder session to bring together experienced investors and selected early-stage startups.
This is not a demo day. This is not a pitch competition.
Each session is limited to five selected startups. Following the discussion, we facilitate one-on-one follow-up conversations where investor interest aligns.
Who Attends?
Explore brings together qualified members of the investment ecosystem, including:
- Angel investors
- Micro VC and Seed fund representatives
- Corporate leaders with a CVC perspective
Target Startups
Startups featured at Explore are selected through a structured review process:
- Stage: Pre-Seed, Seed, or Seed–Series A
- Momentum: Demonstrable traction or clear growth signals
- Team: Founded by experienced, execution-focused teams
Every startup is vetted prior to the session.
