How It Works

Five steps from application to term sheet conversation.

Founders raising capital are selected

Each Investor Dinner features 4–6 founders who are actively raising a round — pre-seed through Series B. Selection is based on traction, team, and fundraising readiness.

Investors are curated to match

Astronomic invites 4–6 investors — angels, family offices, and institutional VCs — whose check sizes, stage preferences, and sector focus match the founders at the table.

Dinner at a private venue

Investor Dinners happen at private homes, exclusive clubs, or intimate restaurant private rooms. The setting signals seriousness and creates the conditions for real conversation.

Each founder pitches in 5 minutes

The first half gives each founder 5 minutes to share their company, traction, and raise. No slides. No decks. Just the story — the way investors actually want to hear it.

Open conversation over dinner

The second half is unstructured. Investors ask questions, share deal criteria, and make introductions. The relationships that lead to term sheets are built here.
