A 48-hour fundraising sprint by Founders Village where pre-seed to Series A founders meet dozens of investors in back-to-back meetings. Who should attend? Pre-seed to Series B Tech Startups. Looking at the investors joining us in September, here's where their attention seems to be for this cohort ▪️ Physical AI — robotics, sensors, industrial automation, and the machines reshaping manufacturing, construction, and mobility. ▪️ Semiconductors and AI chips — the silicon underneath all of it. ▪️ Deep tech, defense, space tech and dual-use, alongside cybersecurity and enterprise infrastructure. ▪️ Fintech and financial services — banking technology, financial infrastructure, and the security that protects it. ▪️ Health tech and biotech — health and wellness, digital health care solutions, pharma production, oncology, and medical devices. ▪️ Climate and energy — adaptation and resilience, clean energy, electrification, batteries, and transportation. ▪️ AI, across the whole stack — infrastructure, enterprise, application layer, AI-ready data, and the work of making it safe and interpretable. ▪️ And a good number of the investors are sector agnostic, backing exceptional founders building in any industry. If you're building in any of these areas and looking for capital to scale, consider applying for Tech Weekend Cohort September 2026 Across two days, Founders connect with investors through: ▪️ VC Office Hours: 20–30-minute one-on-one meetings with top investors who are investing in your space. ▪️ Pitch Competition: Present to a panel of active VCs.
