DESCRIPTION:July 30 | 10 am to 6:30 pm EST | Buffalo\, NY\nThe Capital Activation Experience connects growth-ready small business CEOs with capital providers\, corporate partners\, and ecosystem leaders – through structured\, facilitated engagement that leads to real funding conversations\, supplier opportunities\, and long-term partnerships. \nThis high impact\, invite only event is designed to connect revenue-generating founders with capital providers and strategic partners. It brings together a curated group of founders\, connecting them with funders advisors and ecosystem partners actively deploying capital. \nThere are two levels of experience\, and you apply once for both. Founders First reviews every application personally. \nLevel 1 – Fireside Chat & Reception is where every member starts. It is a high-energy evening with funders\, speakers\, and founders who have built what you are building. You will get curated funder introductions\, access to the Partner Focus Zone\, and a fireside chat with founders who have crossed $10M. It is free. \nLevel 2 – VIP Luncheon is selective. Founders First reviews every application personally and invites capital-ready founders to a small\, structured brunch with six facilitated one-on-one rotations with lenders who can actually move the needle. Being a member of WBEC NY DMV puts you in the strongest possible position to be considered. The Capital Activation VIP Luncheon gives selected founders six structured one-on-one rotations with lenders who are actively deploying capital. \nOne application. Two possible outcomes. Both worth showing up for. \nRequest Your Invitation
