Founder and Funder Mixer @ Vision Weekend USA 2026

Vision Weekend USA, Nov 13-15 in San Francisco, closes with tracks focused on funding frontier projects in AI for science and safety.

This Founder and Funder Mixer is our dedicated space for bringing visionary investors, pioneering founder, and researcher talent together in the following areas:

• Secure & sovereign AI

• Molecular manufacturing and nanotech

• Neurotech and neuro AI

• Space and energy

• Longevity biotech

Who's in the room

Founders raising for frontier science ventures, researchers with work ready to leave the lab, and the investors looking to back them at early, or later stage: VC funds, family offices, angels, and philanthropic funders.

Every application is reviewed by Foresight so the mix stays balanced for relevant introductions.

What to expect

This is a curated gathering for the people building frontier deep tech and AI, and the people funding it, hosted at Lighthaven over dinner bites, drinks, and unhurried conversation.

• Dinner bites, drinks, and open social time.

• Curated introductions around your focus area

• A natural continuation of Sunday's funding and innovation programming at Vision Weekend to meet with our weekend guests
