WHY ATTEND

Where investors find the rare pearl.

Selected investors, hand-picked founders, and the quiet conversations that turn into deals. A room designed for signal, not noise.

01

Curated by design

Every guest is personally reviewed. A room of ~30 investors and a small circle of founders, never a crowd.

02

Intimate by scale

Small enough that every conversation matters. Large enough to change the trajectory of a company.

03

Discreet by default

Venue shared only on confirmation. No press, no lists, no noise. Trust is the currency.

04

Continued beyond

Introductions extend into follow-ups, warm intros, and second meetings long after the evening ends.

PROGRAM · K2MATCH INVESTOR DAYS

K2MATCH Investor Days.

Three evenings. One community.

The Main Event is the heart of the week. Extend your stay with the pre-event Get-Together and the closing Dinner.

Highly selective by design, the number of guests is limited to around 50–70 people in total across these days, so there is real room to build personal relationships.

Florence Bavanandan Managing Partner, Next Blue VC

The Lounge is where I met three of the founders now in my portfolio. Small room, high signal.

Vincent Tan Angel Investor, South Korea

Refreshingly personal. The K2MATCH team curates like they'd curate their own dinner party.

ABOUT THE HOST

K2MATCH · Together to the Top.

K2MATCH is a curated startup and investor matchmaking practice hosting the Monaco Investor Lounge since 2023. We work internationally, bringing operators, capital and outstanding founders into rooms that are small enough to matter, with startups from every continent having joined our evenings in Monaco.

+1,500 startups in the network
+1,000 investors
We don't organise events. We assemble evenings where the right decision becomes possible.
OUR COMMITMENT

Talent is equally distributed. Funding is not.

Female founders still receive only a fraction of venture capital, a gap of access, not ability. K2MATCH uses its stage in Monaco to help change that: spotlighting exceptional women and connecting them with serious capital. Partner with us to shape this together, as an investor, a partner, or in a form we create with you.

01
SpotlightA dedicated stage for female founders at the 10th edition.
02
AccessComplimentary seats for founders who could not otherwise be in the room.
03
The long runMore initiatives are planned, announced discreetly to our circle. Get in touch to be part of it.
