The summit
A useful introduction can change the direction of a company, and the right conversation deserves more than a passing exchange. The Founders and Investors Summit brings founders, innovators, executives and investment professionals together in Miami around a practical ambition: to build partnerships, explore funding opportunities and find people worth working with. Elevate to New Horizons is the invitation to approach that day with a clear idea of what you want to build next.
The supplied programme combines business networking and speakers with career connections and a global hackathon focused on real problems, from AI to robotics. Founders can discuss their ideas with VCs, LPs and private funds, while operators and prospective collaborators have a setting in which to compare experience and explore a shared direction. These conversations are opportunities to begin a relationship, with outcomes depending on the people and projects involved.
An afterparty extends the social side of the gathering into the evening, offering another setting in which to continue a conversation begun during the day. The Summit takes place in Miami on Saturday 19 June 2027. Registration is open through Aspire Capital, which will share the venue, timings and further programme updates through its event page.
