The SUM pitch meeting
We meet founders early.
We invest when it counts.
For seven years, SUM Ventures has hosted a monthly pitch meeting that brings founders, angels and limited partners into the same room. It is how we get to know founders over time—and invest at the moments that matter most.
The monthly meeting.
- Last Thursday of every month
- 5:00–7:00 PM Pacific Time
- On Zoom
Each meeting opens with news from across the SUM portfolio, followed by three company presentations and open discussion. Pitch decks are shared in advance, so the conversation goes straight to the questions that matter.
Many of today’s SUM portfolio companies first came to us through this meeting.
