About this event

Investor Meet & Greet — August 2026 Edition Mapping the Right Investors for Your Startup & Identifying the Milestones Investors Expect Before You Raise Fundraising is often approached as a numbers game — sending countless emails, pitching to any investor willing to listen. But one of the top reasons startups fail to raise isn't a weak idea; it's approaching the wrong investors, or starting too early. The Investor Meet & Greet Series exists to close that gap. Each edition brings founders and active investors together for practical, educational conversations that go beyond the pitch deck. This month, we're focused on helping founders understand not just who to raise from, but when to start those conversations. You'll walk away understanding how different investors make decisions, the milestones they expect before engaging seriously, and how to build a fundraising roadmap instead of fundraising reactively. What to expect: A featured investor spotlight on this edition's investment theses A technical session on mapping the right investors for your startup A founder fireside chat: real stories on getting investment-ready Dedicated networking time with investors and ecosystem builders 📅 Wednesday, 12th August 2026 🕓 4:00 PM – 7:00 PM 📍 ALX, The Piano, Brookside Drive, Nairobi Hosted by BuildIT Connective, in partnership with ALX Ventures and Impact Hub Nairobi, supported by CardTag.io and Kenya Tech Events.
