Events, matched to your applications

The investor reading your application will be in a room this month. We'll tell you which one.

We match you to events attended by investors from the funds you've applied to, so you meet the people deciding on you.

This is what a match looks like

Two cards. A founder should understand the entire product from these without reading anything else on this page.

New Match! — Example

Amina Yusuf · Partner, Zawadi Ventures

Judging the fintech pitch stage at the Africa Tech Summit.

Nairobi, Kenya  ·  12–14 March 2026

Why you'd see this: you applied to Zawadi Ventures 3 weeks ago, and their partners judge this stage every year — this is where they'll be next.

Event Alert — Example

Tunde Bakare · Principal, Rift Valley Capital

Speaking on the growth-stage panel at GITEX Africa.

Marrakesh, Morocco  ·  14–16 April 2026

Why you'd see this: you applied to Rift Valley Capital 6 weeks ago, and their team speaks on this panel every year — this is where they'll be next.

We can't match you to a real event yet — which means you're missing out until we do. Here's how you get matched:

1
You apply

Through our drafting workspace, to the funds that fit your stage, sector, and country — the same applications you're already sending, not an extra step.

See funding →
2
We track attendance

We watch which of those funds have partners speaking, judging, or attending across every event on our map, and check it against the list you've applied to.

3
We tell you where to be

The event, the date, and the reason — which fund, which person, why it matters to your raise — before you spend anything on a ticket.

Before you spend on a ticket, a flight, and two days away from the business, make sure it's the right room — not just any room. Book the wrong event and you're funding a trip; book the right one and you're standing next to the investor who's actually reading your application. Your shortlist is how you get matched to where the people with the money are, before you spend a shilling on the wrong one.
