Coming up at Tech Weekend June 2026: VC Panel: How VCs Make Decisions — From First Meeting to Term Sheet What really happens on the other side of the table when you're raising. This session covers: • What VCs decide about you before you start pitching • Why most good meetings don't turn into checks — and what changes that • What happens inside the partnership meeting after you leave the room • How to run a process so multiple investors move at the same time • How to read investor feedback when they're not being direct • What to negotiate on a term sheet, and what doesn't matter • For international founders: how to set up, position, and raise in the US Meet the Speakers 🎤 Matt Caspari @deeptechvc — Managing Partner, @alumniventures Investment Focus: Deep Tech from seed to pre-IPO Matt leads the Deep Tech and Strawberry Creek Ventures funds at Alumni Ventures, backing mission-driven founders across agriculture, AI, aviation, biotech, defense, energy, longevity, robotics, and space.

A former founder of an acquired company herself, she brings both the operator's and the investor's perspective to the table. 🎤 Allen Smith — Founder & Managing Partner, @Musa_Capital Investment Focus: Early-stage, tech-enabled businesses built by diverse founding teams Allen is Founder and Managing Partner at Musa Capital, an early-stage firm investing in diverse founding teams building tech-enabled businesses.

Looks like I picked up a bunch of new followers. For background, I'm an Fmr Airline Pilot turned Angel turned Pre MBA dropout turned founder turned LP/QP turned current Test/Ferry Pilot Financier. I have one simple rule: No Bullshit. If any of you on here are #investing especially in #AviaitonAssetLeasing #MultiFamily #DeepTechVC I am open to connecting to discuss specific deal flow. If you are a #founder in the above verticals please drop your pitches here: For MultiFamily deals (Value add or New Dev) of a minimum of $50M - $1B email franz@foxalphaventures.com. For SpaceTechnology / Aerospace go to SP8CEVC.com and fill out the “Founder” section in full. Deploying on my end will be on a case by case basis as I’m currently focused on building out my 4th company. I tweet about a mixture of all the above. Welcome. ⚡️🇺🇸
