Pitch nights and networking mixers are fun, for sure—but sometimes what entrepreneurs really need is an informal AMA with a VC. That’s why SVF is proud to partner with Avanta Ventures on a series of Office Hours sessions in each of Avanta’s investment verticals – starting this October 10^th with a focus on Mobility! There is no fee to participate if your startup is selected. Applications are open until October 5th. 

Each session hosts up to six early-stage startups at Avanta’s offices in Mountain View. After a quick pitch session from each founder, the floor is open for questions with the participating VCs  to provide guidance on raising capital, pitching, negotiations, deal structuring, and more.

For our first Office Hours session, we’re inviting up to six early-stage Mobility startup founders to apply to participate. There’s no limit on the type of technology – as long as you’re focused on transportation innovation, reinventing personal and commercial mobility through new data, connectivity, and platform technologies, your company can benefit from this unique opportunity to receive candid feedback about your startup.

Disclaimer:  Please note that this program is intended to provide feedback and guidance to participating startups, and in no way guarantees investment from the Avanta Ventures team.
