Coffee & Capital Series: Would an Investor Back You?

Running a business in NYC is tough — and it’s even tougher to know how investors really view your business.

That’s why Grace Ventures and SheReigns created the Coffee & Capital Series: a monthly, founder-focused meetup where entrepreneurs gather over coffee to share challenges, swap best practices, and get real-world insights that make a difference.

Each month, we dive into a key growth topic — from cash flow to fundraising — in a way that’s simple, interactive, and immediately useful.

This isn’t another lecture. It’s a candid conversation with peers, plus a quick hit of investor-level strategy you can put to work right away.

• Mini Talk (20 min): Learn how investors evaluate businesses and the 3 financial signals they care about most.
• Founder Roundtable (40 min): Each attendee shares:
  • What your business does
  • One strength you’d pitch to investors
  • One area you know needs improvement
  👉 Get peer feedback and swap lessons learned.
• Interactive Scorecard (30 min): Fill out a simple Investor Readiness Scorecard to see where you stand — then discuss in pairs.
• Networking & Wrap-Up (30 min): Connect with fellow founders, share resources, and walk away with a clear next step.

👉 You’ll leave with a personalized readiness snapshot and practical ideas for making your business more investable.
