We started Afore Capital to focus on first principles. Give companies small amounts of capital, which we called Pre-Seed, to get to product-market fit before they are ready to scale.
The objective of this summit is to bring together key players in the early-stage ecosystem—founders, VCs and LPs— to discuss the shifting funding landscape and share with founders the best practices to take a company from pre-seed all the way to growth stage and beyond.
This year, we’re excited to host founders such as Max Rhodes (Co-Founder & CEO of Faire), Eric Glyman (Co-Founder & CEO of Ramp), Brian Schimpf (Co-Founder and CEO at Anduril Industries) and investors such as Alfred Lin (Partner at Sequoia, board member at Airbnb & DoorDash), Matt Mochary (CEO Coach to founders of Brex, OpenAI, Robinhood, Coinbase), Mar Hershenson (Pear), Cack Wilhelm (IVP), Paul Kwan (GC), and many others!
Thanks to our generous sponsors, First Republic Bank, for supporting this pre-seed summit!
