Networking
The DealFlow Discovery Conference is where high-growth companies come to be discovered. Formerly known as The Microcap Conference, the event has been expanded to include presentations from both public and private companies. This is the largest investment conference of its kind — bringing together hundreds of companies, investors, and dealmakers for two days of company presentations, expert discussions on raising capital, and unlimited 1-on-1 meetings.
Highlights from 2025. A Preview of What’s Next
1-on-1 Meetings (Concierge-style)
Attendees can schedule private meetings with companies or other attendees, leading to meaningful and very personal connections. Our staff can even help with the introductions.
Presenting Company Tracks
Unlike traditional formats that group presentations by sector, we organize tracks based on company stage — a structure that better reflects the type of investor engagement many companies seek.
Networking, Gaming & Entertainment
The conference features non-stop networking and activities, all designed to offer the perfect blend of professional engagement and fun. Want to bring your significant other? You can do that.
New: Private and Pre-IPO Companies
New for 2026, the DealFlow Discovery Conference welcomes private companies to participate alongside public issuers. This change reflects a growing interest in pre-public companies from institutional and accredited investors. All presenting company applications are carefully vetted, and not every private company qualifies to participate. Here’s how our tracks are set up:
Public Issuers: U.S.-based companies focused on investor engagement, secondary market support, and fundraising
Foreign Issuers: International companies seeking access to U.S.-based capital and partnerships
Venture-backed: Emerging growth companies seeking earlier stage capital and strategic relationships
Private Equity-backed (Pre-IPO): Later-stage private companies with institutional backing, raising growth or pre-public capital
