"The Golden Startup Coffee crowd was warm and engaging and asked smart questions. We ultimately raised over $500k from angels in the room or connected to folks in the room, and they have been very helpful with introductions to institutional investors."

Founder & CEO of Ramble
“Highly recommend pitching with Golden Startup Coffee! The founders and investors that attend embody a true community mindset. Welcoming, insightful and a willingness to support - genuinely interested in your success as a startup!”

“I think the event is wonderful. We received so many leads from the experience and I'm honestly trying to keep up with all of them! This event was time well spent. As a female founder in the beverage space, I feel out of place in most startup spaces because they're dominated by tech. The audience seemed to come alive during the pitching and the Q&A. They were open and interested in what we had to say regardless of their background. I'd encourage any female founders to pitch! The GSC team is wonderful and does a great job making sure you're comfortable and have everything you need. 10/10 experience!”
