About this gathering
UNMET Network hosted this virtual conference for underrepresented founders, including women and diverse founders. Companies used short video pitches to introduce their businesses to early-stage investors across the country.
The format combined company discovery on Thumbraise with one-on-one conversations and peer networking. A live panel explored why investors were overlooking founders and regions outside established venture networks.
