  • Max Pog
    Host @ Capital Networking Virtual Conf
    To be honest, sometimes we fail. But this time, we improved several things:
    1. No more dependency on 3rd-party real-time matching platforms for 1:1 video calls. Now, we use pre-scheduled logic: calendar + Google Meet
    2. Only active investors & LPs can participate in 1:1 calls with GPs & startups. No salesy so-called “investors,” only those looking for more deals and ready to listen to your pitch (of a fund or company)
    3. Two days of content + additional expert presentations & discussions in the 2D Talk & Networking Zone
    4. Easier social sharing – every attendee now gets a JPG poster instead of a PDF doc earlier
    5. Personal invite links & rewards: speaking opportunities; showcase your company or promote your service; get cakes, books, swag, and more for those who help spread the word
If you have a 1K+, 10K+ or 100K+ email newsletter – we’ll offer media partner benefits for your PR support. Let me know at maxpog@inniches.com

If you want to get maximum exposure to event participants & investors, consider sponsoring the event (tiers: $2K, $5K, $10K) – see deck.
