Arena is for the outsiders who have yet to pierce the center of Silicon Valley but want a seat at the table.

Learn the implicit rules of Fundraising

Your cold emails go unanswered because fundraising is an insider game, but no one told you the rules. It’s time to learn the game from the insider POV.

Get peer accountability

In Arena, you’ll push each other to raise your game and bring out the best in each other. As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another.

Get a Funding "Gut Check" Every month

Some founders think they’re one intro away when they’re not close. Others are ready to quit but have just had bad luck. We’ll tell you where you stand (and why).

How does Arena work?

Every month, run your startup. We will have educational events you can attend, optional weekly check-ins, and fundraising office hours. At the end of every month, we make a list of every single participant in order from most fundable to least fundable, based on what we know and can observe. You will know your relative ranking.

The top 1% on the leaderboard will get investor introductions from us. This is how the VC world works implicitly, so let’s make it explicit.

The Leaderboard

The leaderboard is public, but identities are anonymized using code names assigned to each founder when they join Arena This lets everyone see where they stand and whether they’re improving in the rankings or not.
