Finding Your First Check: Angel & Pre-Seed Capital, Jonathan Azoff, Snocap VC
This is a working session on early-stage capital strategy, led by Jonathan Azoff, Co-founder & General Partner at Snocap VC, whose focus areas include Venture Capital and Deeptech & Climate.
The conversation will cover how early-stage founders can identify and reach the right angel and pre-seed investors, what a credible pitch and materials package looks like at this stage, and how founders, including those building in deeptech and climate-adjacent categories, should think about approaching their first outside raise.
Expect a practical, working-room format focused on the specific capital questions founders bring into the room, not a general lecture on fundraising.
