📍VC Immersions | May 14, 2025 | Bentonville AR

Curated Investor Meetings. Real Relationships.

The hardest part of raising capital isn’t the pitch—it’s access. VC Immersions brings top-tier investors together with high-growth startups for curated 1:1 meetings in Northwest Arkansas, a region where capital and opportunity are rapidly expanding.

This isn’t a pitch competition or a conference—no brokers, no fees—just real conversations with investors managing over $2B+ in capital, looking for high-growth startups beyond the usual coastal networks. Last cycle, 25% of founders received term sheets within two weeks, with many still in ongoing diligence.
