We're excited to bring DI to life with @andruyeung!
I'm excited to introduce Distilled Intelligence – our 3-day summit for founders, investors & tech leaders, hosted at a stunning, 500-acre resort (3 hours from NYC) on October 14–16. The best part: We’re selecting 100 founders to attend for FREE. We’ll cover your hotel rooms, all your meals, and the entry price. All you have to do is get yourself there. This is not your typical summit: • Half the founders will pitch, half will network – with $1M in investment up for grabs • We’re over-indexing on connection: curated forums, dinners, and 1:1 introductions • It’ll be fun too … we’ll have pickleball, golf, tennis, and a bunch of other activities • And we’ve invited legendary founders (AOL, Techstars, Venmo, and more) to mentor the next generation We’re proud to be hosting this with our friends at @Fortifyvc and @LoudounBiz at the beautiful Landsdowne Resort in Leesburg, VA - just three hours from New York City. This is the room you want to be in this fall. See you there!

See you on the court 🫡
Distilled Intelligence brings together 100 founders and hundreds of investors this October in Virginia. Three private pickleball courts at Lansdowne Resort mean deals can move from conference rooms to courts. Skip the first call, and challenge that investor to doubles instead. The best part? We cover attendance costs for founders: ticket, hotel, food, and even pickleball paddles ;)

We had a blast last week working alongside our portfolio company, Somble (@on_somble), to lend a hand in crafting their strategy for the upcoming year. Our conviction about Somble’s success is deeper than ever. 🚀

In 2016, founder Janice Omadeke launched the startup as a way of pairing women with possible mentors, using an algorithm on shared interests and career goals. In 2017, they pivoted — like any good startup should — and are now taking a business-facing approach. #DCTech
