Conversations before fundraising begins.
VIBE’s Founder and Investor Conversations bring together a small number of founders and private investors for honest, unhurried conversations — designed to build understanding and relationships, not to promise funding.
Submit your project once, and we’ll reach out when there’s a fit for a specific evening.
What this is
Submitting your project adds you to VIBE’s founder network. Private Deal Room is one evening this can take. There will be others, and you do not apply again for each one — we come back to you when a room fits what you are building.
Currently confirmed
Private Deal Room - Geneva
Geneva, 26 November 2026
An evening of five-minute presentations and five-minute conversations, followed by private one-to-ones. It is the opportunity on the table today; it is not the only one there will be.
Applications for this evening close on 13 November 2026, end of day in Geneva. Submit before then to be considered for it.
Who is in the room
Private investors, opportunity-driven.
The investors who join these evenings are not working to a fixed mandate. They are interested in the founder and the team, in trust, in traction, in the business model, the market and whether it scales. Not every investor invests in every industry, and none of them arrives having decided anything.
We never publish who is attending, and we never share an investor’s identity with applicants in advance.
Who this is for
Guidance, not a checklist.
These evenings tend to work best for founders with a credible team, a functioning product or business, a clear story, some evidence of traction, and a sense of what they are working toward — capital, partnerships, or expertise. None of that is a hard cutoff, and there is no score.
