“I met Florence Furaha, a minority woman entrepreneur from the East Coast & Founder of Meet Caregivers, in Silicon Valley’s largest conference and invited her to pitch at Pitch Global. After she pitched, as per our process, we matched her with an investor from Pipeline Angels, who was a judge at our event, which led to her raising a significant amount. She also met an investor from Nex3/Sway Ventures at that event, who also invested in her company as he did with Ootify, The Beauty Marketplace, Fanalyse, and many other cos“ – KC Wisdom, Founder of Pitch Global Investor Network of Networks (pitchglobal.com).
The above story about an entrepreneur getting funding through connections made at a large conference is an extreme exception, not the norm. The number of people you can connect with in any event or conference is max seven per psychological theories. Don’t get me wrong; large conferences are a great place to get quality content, thought leadership, and industry trends, but when it comes to connecting with the right investors who could invest in your company, your probability of connecting with them is minimal.
