This May in New York City, we’re bringing the MFG community together for our flagship event - where consumer investors, media partners, and the boldest Series A+ startups meet, mingle, and make things happen.

We’re flipping the script on the traditional pitch: 15 top funds, handpicked by MFG, will take the stage to pitch you - the founder. No cold emails, no guessing games - just the right investors, right in front of you.

It’s all happening on a New York City rooftop, with drinks, music, and one unforgettable view. Fast pitches, real conversations, and new connections that could change everything.

​Why a reversed investor pitch?

​Pitching to VCs takes a chunk of time and loads of energy, and every rejection takes a little chip out of the soul. As an entrepreneur, you'd better be pitching to the right investors!

​As a startup founder, you have hundreds of other things to do, so this event is designed to deliver fast, efficient insights to make the best use of your time.

​What happens at the event?

The MFG Reversed Investors Pitch is more than finding alignment with a VC's investment thesis - it's about finding where your personalities and chemistry click. We’re here to help you discover the right investors, fast.

  • Funds will pitch - Each VC has five minutes to pitch, followed by your questions. No decks, no fluff, just the essentials.

  • One-on-one meetings - Selected consumer brands will have the chance to sit down with pitching investors for targeted, high-impact conversations.

  • Drinks and networking - After the pitches wrap, stick around for rooftop drinks, new connections, and good vibes.‍

​What do you mean by “Consumer Investor”?

​We define a “consumer investor” as someone who invests in businesses across diverse sectors including but not limited to traditional CPG brands, whose technologies and innovations have mass consumer appeal e.g. the Creator Economy.

​We welcome VCs, CVCs, Angel Investors/Syndicates and other finance providers backing DTC/e-commerce startups including debt financing, media capital, revenue share, working capital, and other innovation capital solutions.

If you’re a Series A+ B2C startup currently fundraising or planning to fundraise in the next 6-9 months, you simply cannot afford to miss this event!‍

If you’re a consumer VC, CVC, or a family office, and brave enough to pitch in front of 100+ founders, drop us a line at partnerships@mediaforgrowth.co.

We have a limited number of investor-speaking slots!
