The goal of VC Day is to create a relaxed setting that promotes the formation of authentic relationships within the venture capital ecosystem, steering away from the formalities of pitch events or mere networking receptions.
Business leaders and industry influencers are invited to be part of the event, which will include networking opportunities, a VC panel, a 412 Angels company pitch event, and a panel discussion featuring companies from the Fuel Accelerator program directed by the Startup Junkie Foundation of Fayetteville. The program offers hands-on education, workshops, and support to guide companies toward becoming “enterprise-ready.”
