For Startups:
You can’t build a great startup without the right people—but let’s be real, finding co-founders, advisors, and investors can feel like speed dating with commitment issues.
Endless cold outreach, awkward coffee chats, and investors who “love what you’re building” but never follow up. We make it simple.
Save Time: No more chasing leads, scheduling endless calls, or waiting weeks for replies. Get in front of the right people in one day.
Meet High-Value Connections: Skip the noise and connect directly with investors, advisors, and partners who can actually move the needle.
Effortless, Direct Conversations: No fluff, no filters—just face-to-face meetings with exactly who you want to talk to.
This is your moment to gain visibility, refine your pitch, and open doors to real opportunities.

Investing doesn’t have to mean endless stacks of applications, scheduling hassles, and lengthy pitches. BLKBOOK makes connecting with high-growth startups fast, efficient, and impactful. Here’s how we address the pain points investors commonly face:
Quick, Focused Pitches: Hear concise, polished pitches every 3 minutes, allowing you to instantly gauge potential without sitting through lengthy presentations.
Skip the Scheduling Back-and-Forth: Our virtual event eliminates the need for endless emails and rescheduling, bringing all the startups directly to you in one focused session.
White-glove Matchmaking: Review startups ahead of time and select those that align with your investment thesis, ensuring every connection is relevant.
Direct Access to Essential Information: Startups come prepared with key details like market size, competitive advantage, and financial outlook, so you can make quick, informed decisions.
