We are thrilled to announce our fifth My NEXT Raise Early Stage Founder Funder Event! Startups that are “investor ready” and raising a current round of Seed to Series A funding may apply to be selected for 1:1 speed dating investor meetings (in person only) from 1 to 4pm on Tuesday April 22d at Shulman Rogers Offices in Park Potomac MD. Also during this time, several workshops will be hosted by My NEXT Raise Trusted Partners on a variety of topics critical to startup success.

This is a great opportunity for innovative, exciting, “investor ready” startups and early stage investors. The 1:1 investor meetings and workshops will be followed by a Panel Discussion on “Founders’ Fundraising Stories & Lessons Learned” and a Happy Hour at 5pm. Everyone that applies is welcome (and recommended) to join for the afternoon regardless if selected for an investor meeting.

“SRT Labs is excited to have Skull Diamond and Heart Capital who joined our Seed Round at the end of 2024. And, we would not have met them if it were not for the My NEXT Raise event. We were thrilled to have met with 8 different investors and, following a detailed diligence process, also supported by NEXT powered by Shulman Rogers, Skull Diamond Heart Capital finalized their investment. I look forward to strengthening the relationships with investors and other founders that I’ve met through the MY NEXT Raise event series.”

Gregory P. Scott, Ph.D., CEO Service Robotics & Technologies
