🌴 Miami Founders & Investors Mastermind
Join 200+ serious founders, VCs & angels, operators, and early-stage builders for a high-signal evening focused on raising capital, building an MVP, and building companies that are actually fundable in 2026.
Our last event in February was a great success.
Over 300+ founders & investors sign up during Miami Startup Week. We received so much positive feedback that we decided to host another event and make it even better!
This is not a generic networking mixer. This is not a motivational talk. And this is definitely not a panel of people who've never built anything.
This is a founder-first, operator-led session designed to give you clarity on what investors are actually looking for right now, and how to position your startup to win.
We'll cover:
✔ How to build the right MVP fast
✔ How to build traction and navigate early-stage growth on a low budget.
✔ Common mistakes founders make when starting a new venture
✔ What "Investor-ready" actually means in 2026
✔ How founders are successfully raising pre-seed & seed rounds today
✔ How to build momentum before, during, and after a raise
