This recurring global mixer series has become a staple for the "build-in-public" crowd, specifically designed to strip away the overhead of traditional conferences. The format—focused on 1-minute rapid-fire pitches—forces founders to refine their value proposition to its most essential form. In a market where DeepTech is shifting from general LLM wrappers to specialized hardware and agentic workflows, these high-velocity environments are the primary filter for pre-seed and seed-stage interest.
For founders, the "so what" lies in the density of specialized capital. Unlike general tech meetups, these mixers attract a high concentration of angel investors and junior associates from DeepTech-focused VCs looking for early signals. The 60-second pitch is less about closing a deal and more about the "follow-up" economy; it is a live-fire exercise in identifying which parts of your roadmap resonate with peers who actually understand the underlying architecture.
