Sit down individually with experienced operators and investors for direct, candid feedback on your venture — whether you’re still shaping an idea or preparing to raise.
Get paired with a mentor or mentee by registering for the Luma event.
This year’s mentors and investors are hand-picked through an open call, reviewed and approved — chosen for their relevance to how companies are built today, including AI-driven ventures.
No stage, no audience. You and a mentor, one-on-one — talk through your problem, your pitch, or your next decision and leave with feedback you can act on.
Sessions run in Room 1047 from 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM — right through lunch — so you can pair candid feedback with the workshops, the pitch competition, and everything else the summit offers.
From first-time founders still exploring an idea to CEOs preparing for investor funding — the one-on-ones are open to every stage.
