In tomorrow’s newsletter, we’re featuring a startup that is set to hit 1M users on the day of their upcoming launch… and they’ve already met 6 investors through @theORCAnetwork_. Without a pitch deck.

Don’t miss it: https://t.co/yXFIEeHftn

@chay_moneyman Been managing the RSVPs — founder, investor, or otherwise, you don’t wanna miss this one!

[Max @max_comolli]

Sharing deal flow from @theORCAnetwork_ used to take hours of organizing unstructured data to find matches.

Consistent all-nighters to send deals at the promised time

Today I sent deals to half of our investors w/ internal tools + algos… in 40 mins

Much better matching too!

Over 1,000 startups on @theORCAnetwork_ now

As someone who hasn’t spent much time figuring out the latter, I’m curious:

How would you summarize the biggest differences in content strategy for LinkedIn versus Twitter/X?

Excited to be collaborating with @AIEBerkeley for an AI demo day showcasing 15-20 of @UCBerkeley most promising Startups!

We already have top investors attending but want to open the room to any other investors and founders that want to see what the top Berkeley Startups are.

Feel free to tag anyone or share it with people that might be interested in attending!
