You've been workshopping your idea with ChatGPT, not real founders. We fix that. Themed tables, 5 live pitches, one Prague room - 3 hours

Most of us are in the same loop. You have an idea. You workshop it with ChatGPT, read another newsletter, tell three friends who don't quite get it. The idea stays in your head. Or worse — it never gets the kind of pushback that would have made it sharper.

Research on creative work is clear: people who articulate their idea to like-minded peers begin to understand it deeper. Quality feedback isn't validation — it's the thing that changes how you see your own work.

We mix the room on purpose. Different industries see the same process from different angles — that's where value compounds. We ask for your LinkedIn in registration so we can group you with the right people, not random tables.

How the evening runs (3 stages)

Stage 1 — Themed Networking

You vote on the night's themes through the registration form (Fundraising, HR, GTM, Product, Pricing, Hiring — whichever wins the room). We group you by background. Each group's representative shares the conversation's main takeaway on stage. Featured contributors get a Featured Founder spotlight on ascentvalley.com — that's how the conversation scales across the ecosystem.

Stage 2 — Pitches

5 curated startups present their idea for live feedback and investor introductions. After the event, we add them to our private founder database and route their application to the right investors inside the Ascent Valley network.

Stage 3 — Chill & Network

The structured part wraps. The bar stays open. The connections you started solidify here — most of our repeat attendees say this is where the real value lands.

Who's in the room

• Accelerator representatives — talent and dealflow scouts from Prague-based and EU-wide programs
• Investors — angels, fund representatives, scouts from syndicates
• Founders, Pre-seed to Series A — building across SaaS, AI, ClimateTech, FinTech, ConsumerTech
• Operators — PMs, engineering leads, GTM leaders from scaling startups
• Entrepreneurs across industries — fresh perspective is the point
• Founders traveling through Prague — from Tel Aviv, Berlin, London, NYC, Lisbon nodes
• Hiring leads from companies actively scaling teams

About Ascent Valley

Ascent Valley is a 3-layer ecosystem: Community, DealFlow, Events. Our mission is to break local boundaries and enable cross-region growth through real connection between founders, operators, and investors.

Philosophy: IDEA → PROCESS → RESULT.
