Why Attend

Snow Valley started with a simple idea: the best conversations don’t happen in conference halls. They happen on a chairlift, over a shared plate of nachos at the lodge, or around a fire after a long day on the mountain. So we bring around 50 founders and investors from the Bay Area and Sacramento up to Tahoe, put away the badges and booths, and let the weekend do the rest.

Partner with Snow Valley Sponsorships keep it accessible for founders.

Snow Valley attendees gathered in the lodge

Real conversations, not pitch meetings

You’ll ride the lift with the investor you’ve been hoping to meet. No calendar link needed.

Small enough to know everyone

By lunch on day one, you’ll know most of the faces. By dinner, you’ll have inside jokes.

It keeps going after the snow melts

Reunions, coworking days, partnerships, and term sheets have all started here. The weekend is just the beginning.

The Takeaways

Practical insights, served with a side of snow.

How investors think

Candid, off-the-record talks from VCs on what actually gets them excited, and what quietly loses them.

Small-group sessions

Fundraising, storytelling, and growth, talked through in small groups with people who’ve done it recently.

Better turns

Whether it’s your first time on skis or you’re chasing fresh tracks, there’s a lesson or a group for you.

Activities

Pitch & Ski

Grab a lift buddy and pitch on the way up. Investors ride with founders throughout the day, so every chair is a chance to connect.

Mountain Day

Ski, snowboard, or take a lesson. Groups are matched by level, so nobody gets left behind and nobody gets bored.

Guests sharing dinner at a long table by a lodge fireplace

Fireside Dinner

A long table, good food, and the kind of conversation that only happens after a day outside. Spots are limited by the size of the dinner table, and we like it that way.

“It was special to take time to really be present and work hard and play hard. There was everything from hard core fundraising tear downs, to fun posse laps, to an epic Rock Scissors and Paper tourney, and everything else in between.”

Who Should Attend

The founders building what’s next and the investors who believe in them.

Founders

Early-stage builders who’d rather earn an investor’s attention over a shared run than a cold email.

Investors

VCs and angels who want to meet promising founders before everyone else does, in a setting where people are themselves.

Friends in tech

Operators, advisors, and builders who love the startup world and want a weekend with people who get it.

Every skill level

Never skied? Perfect. Shred every weekend? Also perfect. The mountain is for everyone.
