Founders & Funders 2026 is officially live! Last December, 160 of the year’s highest quality emerging brands met with 70 of the most active consumer investors for 600+ curated 1:1 meetings—all in one day. Since then, real relationships have turned into closed rounds. This December, we’re back in NYC and raising the bar: 200 brands, 100+ investors, an investor network that’s grown 3x since last year, and even more pre-scheduled 1:1 meetings. If you’re planning to raise in 2026 or 2027, this is the room you need to be in where fundraising conversations start. ⏰ Applications close October 1 at 5 PM PT, and we review on a rolling basis—so the sooner you apply, the better.
