Pre-Seed–>Early Growth @ CES
Jan 8, 2026, Las Vegas
Where Innovation Meets Identity.
Join us at CES for an evening bringing together engineers, founders, investors, and operators building the next generation of technology companies. This is a focused, high-signal gathering designed for people operating in the early stages – where capital, execution, and partnerships matter more than hype.
