About The Event

Sip, Sign & Scale is not a panel.
It is not a demo day.
It is not a networking event.

It is a structured capital environment designed to:

Align investors with ventures built for scale
Surface real opportunities—not surface-level conversations
Create partnerships that extend beyond the room

Hosted by Venture Philanthropy Blueprint, this experience operates at the intersection of capital, capacity, and community—where impact becomes executable.

What Happens in the Room

Inside the room:

Curated founder ↔ investor introductions
Live deal and partnership conversations
Operator-level insight exchange
Immediate pathways for post-event execution

This is where momentum starts—not where conversations end.

Access is limited. Alignment is required.

Questions About VPB Events

Is this event free to attend?

There is no general ticketing for this event. If there is a participation fee or contribution for a specific edition, this will be clearly shared with confirmed invitees along with sponsorship and scholarship options as relevant.

What criteria do you use to select attendees?

We prioritize founders, operators, investors, ecosystem leaders and partners who are: (1) actively building or backing impactful ventures, (2) able to make or influence meaningful decisions, and (3) ready to collaborate with others in the room.

Will the sessions be recorded?

Core conversations are off the record to create space for candid, high-trust dialogue.

Select moments may be captured for highlights or future storytelling, but there will be no public livestream of the gathering.

Only registered virtual attendees will be able to tune in during the live program.

How does this connect to the broader VPB Collective?

This event is one activation within a broader VPB effort to connect capital, talent and infrastructure across the social entrepreneur ecosystem. Attendees will be invited into follow-on touchpoints, working groups and opportunities as they take shape.
