Investor Matchmaking
Curated 1:1 Meetings with VCs | Applications are now closed (No walk-ups)

Meet Your Next Investor
Founders, are you raising now or soon? Investor Matchmaking at Raleigh-Durham Startup Week (RDSW) is your chance to connect with local and national venture capitalists looking for startups like yours.
Unlike traditional networking events, this is a highly curated experience. Rather than random drop-ins, we help you make meaningful connections with investors aligned to your stage, sector, and fundraising goals. Every match is intentional and meant to provide the best opportunity for a successful collaboration.
How it Works
Apply to be matched (separate from general RDSW registration).
Get paired with relevant VCs based on your company’s stage and focus.
Receive your investor matches and fund overviews by April 4 to prep in advance.
Meet 1:1 with matched investors for 20-minute, focused conversations.

Applications are Closed
If you have already applied, matching is underway! You’ll hear back from our team soon with next steps, and you’ll receive your final matches by April 4th.
