Welcome back to The Deal Room 📰

Each week we have plenty of exciting announcements, the latest VC job postings, deals of the week, upcoming events, interesting articles to learn from, and more. Read below for the weekly insights from our team👇

Announcing our Launch of Founder Track!

The founder community launch post is now up! Thank you everyone for being early supporters of this network and helping us iterate on that value with new projects like this. - Founder Track Launch Post 🙂 

Now, enough about startups on this announcement page for a few days! We are a VC network after all → The first Monthly Virtual Deal Calls (Join the Early Stage Deal Call / Growth Stage Deal Call here). If you plan to join, here is what you need to know:

• Everyone is required to share 1-2 deals (Slide deck and quick highlights) before the event - [email protected]

• Everyone should expect to speak for a maximum of 2 minutes per deal and the audience will have 1 minute to ask questions

• There will be no recording. Everyone on the call will be trusted and verified by our team.

• Finally, I’d like to allow 1-2 emerging managers to present their new fund/thesis at the end of the call. Please let us know if you are interested in being a featured speaker.

The LA Meetup event is the first to come together fully. If you are in LA and would like to meet for coffee with the other investors in your city, DM @Kai Fink for details. We are also looking for our local ambassador for a monthly meetup event in New York and London (both locations have 20+ investors in the PT network). If you are interested in being the local host, email [email protected] and we can help coordinate invites :)
