Where verified founders meet real investors — in person.
EVO is a trust-vetted professional community running curated, in-person events across the world. Every member of a curated room has been reviewed by a human — so investors keep their attention for the real thing, and founders pitch to people who can actually say yes.

The company you'll keep
Beyond founders and investors, EVO admits community members by badge only — senior figures with notable affiliations, from global banks and Microsoft to NASA and the White House. The badge is granted by an admin, never self-claimed.
How EVO works
Request to join
Pick a username and sign up. Your application goes straight to the vetting team.
A human vets you
AI gathers your public professional footprint into a summary card — and a person makes the call. Verified once, verified for good.
Meet in person, stay connected
Get approved for curated events, check in at the door, and keep the conversation going in rooms that outlive the event.
Investors are protected by design
No cold DMs, ever. A founder sends a connect request; a conversation opens only when the investor accepts. Unverified accounts never appear in investor spaces — the platform is built so that room simply cannot contain them.
In a city near you
EVO runs dozens of in-person events every month — investor evenings of 30–50, mixed founder–investor nights of 100–200. All free, all curated where it counts.
