HOST FAQS

  • Lightning Rounds are curated, 15-minute meetings with startups sourced & recruited by the gener8tor team, curated based on your problem statements/investment thesis.  These first meetings have led to direct investments, pilot agreements and even acquisitions.

  • Startups will have five minutes to pitch, with the rest of the time (10–15 minutes total) for discussion, questions, and making a connection. The gener8tor team will keep things moving and give you time cues so everyone stays focused and on track.
