Our dream: the early stage investing event of the year.

Founders & Funders NYC brought together 160+ founders and the most active 70+ VCs for a full day of meaningful connections, thoughtful conversations, and real deal-making. Investors had seen detailed one pagers on all the brands, ensuring no connection would be missed.

From over 600 curated 1:1 meetings, candid investment panels, and 100+ brands sampling, we created an intentional space for discovery and action. The energy in the room was unmatched, driven by builders and backers committed to shaping the next generation of CPG.

We’re deeply grateful to our investor community for showing up with time, perspective, and honest feedback—and to the founders who continue to push boundaries and raise the bar. 

Thank you as well to our sampling brands for bringing incredible products to life throughout the day, and to our sponsors for making this event possible.
