Venture135 is more than a conference — it’s a curated collision of investors, founders, and corporate leaders shaping the future of fintech and insurtech. Over two days in the heart of Charlotte, attendees gain direct access to top-tier venture capitalists, emerging startups, and innovation executives driving meaningful change across the Southeast and beyond.
​
Expect actionable insights, high-impact networking, and the kind of serendipitous connections that turn ideas into investment opportunities.
From pitch sessions and private investor roundtables to after-hours events and dealmaking lounges, Venture135 is built for those who don’t just want to keep up with innovation — they want to lead it.
Pitches That Power the Future
The heart of Venture135 beats in the pitch sessions — where the most promising fintech and insurtech startups take the stage to showcase their ideas to an audience of active investors and industry leaders. Each pitch is a chance to uncover the next breakout company, spark collaboration, and drive capital into high-growth innovation.
​
Whether you’re scouting new opportunities or preparing to pitch your own, these sessions deliver unfiltered access to the people and ideas shaping tomorrow’s financial landscape.
Networking & DealFlow
This isn’t your typical business card swap. Venture135 curates meaningful connections through 1:1 meeting matchmaking, investor-only roundtables, and evening receptions designed to keep conversations flowing.
​
Here, investors discover dealflow they can trust, founders meet backers who understand their vision, and corporates connect with disruptors ready to help them stay ahead of the curve. Every handshake, conversation, and coffee chat is an opportunity waiting to happen.
Founder-Focused Workshops
Venture135’s workshops are designed with founders in mind — hands-on sessions led by seasoned operators, investors, and corporate partners who’ve been in the trenches. Topics range from go-to-market strategy and capital readiness to compliance, scaling, and building investor relationships.
​
These workshops equip founders with the practical knowledge and connections to move from early traction to sustainable growth — all within an environment built for collaboration and real talk.
Beyond the Sessions: Conference Activities
Between sessions, Venture135 offers more ways to connect, explore, and recharge. From curated networking lounges and private investor lunches to evening receptions and Charlotte’s vibrant social scene, the conference experience extends well beyond the main stage.
​
Engage with interactive sponsor activations, explore emerging technologies at startup showcases, and join fellow attendees for memorable after-hours events that make the Southeast’s innovation community one of the most dynamic in the nation.
