Fast Start

An invite-only gathering for early-stage founders building the future of automotive

About This Session

The future of automotive isn't just coming—it’s being built right now by the people in this room. If you’re an early-stage founder, you know that the distance between a disruptive idea and a scalable solution is paved with high-stakes decisions and the right connections.

This exclusive, invite-only session is designed to short-circuit the trial-and-error phase of your startup journey by putting you face-to-face with the mentors, investors, and peers who actually move the needle in this industry.

This event is for:

• Real connection with fellow entrepreneurs

• Candid conversations about go-to-market strategies and dealer engagement

• Access to investors, including Automotive Ventures and other leading VCs

• Dealer principals who have an interest in investing in early-stage companies

If your startup was founded in 2022 or later, has < $3M in revenue, < 20 employees, and is pre-Series A — you’re eligible.
