AI to Investment: Building a Fundable Startup, perspective from a VC

You have watched enough webinars. What you have not done is talk to the people building in this city. No stage, no slides, no panel. A short opening, structured introductions so nobody is stranded, and then the evening is yours. Founders at every stage, local investors with no obligation to pitch or be pitched, and operators who can actually help with something. Register now. Bring what you are working on and what you are stuck on.

❯ Guest Speakers include:

• Connor Sattely (CEO, Founder Institute)
• Mercedes Bankston (Venture Partner, Loyal VC)
• Brian Proffitt (Partner, Disruptive Capital Finance)

❯ What You'll Learn:

• What a VC screens for in an early-stage AI company before the first meeting;
• How investors test defensibility when the model itself is not the moat;
• Which traction signals count at pre-seed and which ones get ignored;
• How founder-market fit is assessed when the market is six months old;
• The milestones to hit before you open a round, and the ones that can wait.

❯ Who Should Attend:

• AI founders preparing to raise their first round;
• Technical founders who can build the product and are unsure how it becomes a company;
• Aspiring entrepreneurs validating an idea in London;
• Early-stage founders in London who want investor feedback before they need money.
