Despite the gloomy economic backdrop, we’re ending 2023 on a positive note!

Our demo day is now powered by more than 250 world-class VC funds, we’ve facilitated over 8,000 introductions with our first finalist exit, built & shipped Deploy v1 (more below) and much more! All that couldn’t have been possible without doubling our team in size .

With 2024 set to be the year for Focal to roar into the cosmos, we’re keeping ourselves busy:

  • Deploy: A data-driven initiative that solves the huge problem that GPs face when trying to raise their funds and that LPs face when trying to find VC funds to allocate their cash to. Over 100 top-tier institutional LPs have signed up to take part! Find out more here.
  • S24 & W23: Attendees will see 40-50 of the world’s most exciting pre-seed to Series A startups pitch, handpicked by our partner VCs as the top 1% out of an expected pool of over 4,500 applicants!
  • Launching our online community: a hub for all previous finalists to tap into the Focal ecosystem on demand, not just on demo day. Layered with in-person alumni events, alumni can connect with one another and our VC network, and take advantage of great rewards from our corporate partners.

Have a prosperous 2024!
