Incubators and investors often talk about each other, but rarely with each other.
When they do connect, it’s usually through pitches, panels, or assumptions rather than an honest exchange.
The Elephant & the Match creates space for a different kind of conversation. This focused, in-person session brings incubators and investors together for direct, structured dialogue—designed to move beyond surface introductions and explore where real value, alignment, and collaboration may exist.
Building on earlier Pollinate Impact discussions, the session shifts from diagnosing the gap to engaging with it—one conversation at a time.
