About the event
The Engage Network is a venture platform that helps startups connect with F500 companies. We've invested in +120 companies and helped them build relationships across our 17 corporate partners and close 200+ contracts.
We're bringing together a small group of startup operators and corporate innovation leaders for breakfast to hear a few of those stories, meet the people in the room, and have the kinds of conversations that actually move things forward.
The centerpiece is a 30-minute panel featuring founders and their corporate partners walking through how they met through Engage, how they structured their first pilot, and what it really takes to get from first call to signed contract. No fluff, just the real playbook. Then we eat Chick-fil-A and talk deals.
Who this is for
Founders building products for the enterprise. Corporate innovation, strategy, and procurement leaders excited about startups. Investors and connectors in the Southeast ecosystem.
This is an invitation-only event.
