"Fantastic program with relevant and high quality content, all in a casual, friendly atmosphere. The VCs were all approachable and supportive."
"fnIRL is a startup conference like no other. Where else is the ratio of entrepreneurs to investors almost 1:1? Where else does everyone actually spend the time to really connect and help?"
"I’ve attended other networking and startup events. This was by far the most open, non-pretentious, and supportive experience I have attended."
