AI & Tech Networking Event in Melbourne by Ascent Valley

 
This is where founders meet investors, ideas meet capital, and conversations turn into real partnerships.
Meet investors, founders, AI experts, operators, and entrepreneurs building the next generation of global companies — in one room, in Melbourne, for one evening designed to actually move things forward.
Most networking events leave you with a stack of business cards and nothing to show for it. This one is different. We bring together a genuinely diverse, high-signal crowd — different industries, different backgrounds, one shared goal — and create the conditions for conversations that go somewhere.
What's happening on the night:
Share your project and get real feedback from people who've seen what works. Connect with active investors including angels and VC firms. Explore opportunities in AI, Tech, and early-stage startups. And stay for the open networking — that's where the partnerships actually start.
The startup pitch session puts selected founders on stage for a focused 5-minute presentation in front of active investors and tech leaders. Each startup receives professional evaluation, direct investor feedback, and visibility inside the Ascent Valley global ecosystem. The startup voted Most Investment-Worthy gets featured across our social channels and in the investor newsletter.
You'll be in the room with: Startup founders · Angel investors and VC firms · AI experts · Entrepreneurs from Europe, Asia and the UK · Marketers and sales leaders · Business advisors · Builders and game changers
