Hi friend,
We've been heads down scouting founders across the country for Onward FX this April, when 33+ funds will fly into Bentonville for a day of curated 1:1 meetings. We keep doing this for the same reason: the talent is everywhere, the companies are real, but access still isn't evenly distributed. So we built a way to close that gap without making founders spend months on logistics.
Here's how it works:
- We review every company
- We curate matches based on actual fit (stage, sector, check size, timing)
- We send each VC a short brief before they sit down with you, so the conversation can skip the overview and start where it should
In past cycles, about 1 in 4 founders walked away with a term sheet.
👉Deadline to apply: February 23rd. Apply here.
One more thing I'm excited about: We launched Road to FX this year, a short virtual series to help founders show up to investor conversations with more clarity. What we've covered so far:
- Peter Walker (Carta) + Monique Woodard (Cake Ventures) on what the early-stage market actually looks like right now. Watch here.
- Mike Cardamone (Forum Ventures) on what "fundable" really means, and what kills deals after a strong first meeting. Watch here.
Two more sessions with Nick Moran of New Stack Ventures and Haley Bryant of Hustle Fund are coming up, check it out below 👇
