How do you turn a happy hour into a launchpad for the next big thing? Our recent Finding Funding Happy Hour events asked just that. We brought together a highly curated, intimate group of founders, superconnectors, and investors for an evening of meaningful connections and insights on community-driven capital raising. Dallas saw my business partner Devin Ambron team up with Pete Stubbs from DealMaker, while I hosted the Austin event alongside Pete. Here's what made these events special... 👥 Carefully curated attendee list (no service providers) 🍹 Open happy hour for relaxed networking 🧊 Icebreakers to kickstart conversations (not forced & where needed) 💡 Discussions on leveraging community for fundraising A huge thank you to the DealMaker team for sponsoring these events and to all the brilliant minds who joined us. These evenings aren't just about networking - they're about building a community of innovators who support and elevate each other. If you're a founder, investor, or connector looking to expand your network and knowledge, send me a DM or comment "FINDING FUNDING" and I'll put you on the list for our next gathering ✌️
Sounds like a recipe for success - great initiative in building community support Cate Diaz
Thank you Cate! These events have struck a uniquely authentic balance you don't see very often. Combining a curated attendee list with a more relaxed, open event format ensures you get high-value networking while still being genuinely fun. Looking forward to more events in the future.
