The value of Distilled Intelligence isn't the $1M prize, it's the access to hundreds of active and relevant investors in the audience. We created DI to help streamline fundraising for founders, allowing them to focus on building & shipping.

All the fundraising success.
No fixed terms, no three month program.

The best deals aren’t made in boardrooms, they’re sparked around a campfire. At #DI3, connection is the name of the game. With the @LansdowneResort at your disposal, connection will be happening everywhere from pickle ball courts to cocktail hour.

I'm excited to introduce Distilled Intelligence – our 3-day summit for founders, investors & tech leaders, hosted at a stunning, 500-acre resort (3 hours from NYC) on October 14–16.

The best part: We’re selecting 100 founders to attend for FREE. We’ll cover your hotel rooms, all your meals, and the entry price.

All you have to do is get yourself there.

This is not your typical summit:
• Half the founders will pitch, half will network – with $1M in investment up for grabs
• We’re over-indexing on connection: curated forums, dinners, and 1:1 introductions
• It’ll be fun too … we’ll have pickleball, golf, tennis, and a bunch of other activities
• And we’ve invited legendary founders (AOL, Techstars, Venmo, and more) to mentor the next generation

We’re proud to be hosting this with our friends at @Fortifyvc and @LoudounBiz at the beautiful Landsdowne Resort in Leesburg, VA - just three hours from New York City.

This is the room you want to be in this fall. See you there!

On October 11th, 2011, Blake Hall pitched TroopSwap at Distilled Intelligence 1.0. From a military-focused deals site, it evolved into @IDme by solving identity verification for broader groups. Today, @IDme is a $2B company, partnering with governments and brands to protect 120M Americans' identities. Investors, join us at DI 3.0 to identify rising ventures.

Distilled Intelligence brings together 100 founders and hundreds of investors this October in Virginia. Three private pickleball courts at Lansdowne Resort mean deals can move from conference rooms to courts. Skip the first call, and challenge that investor to doubles instead.

The best part? We cover attendance costs for founders: ticket, hotel, food, and even pickleball paddles ;)
