### ✉️ **Array Ventures Invites**

- Many of you have been wondering how to invest in our companies. We are starting an Array Ventures Founder Showcase. Our first one is for angel investors next week Oct 2nd at 9:30am PT. **Please [RSVP here](https://forms.gle/U89NEwYwWJCGcMGq5)** to get an invite to this one or one of the future ones.

- If you are around Oct 10th at 5pm in SF during SF Tech Week then come to our data event, From Data to Deployment: Lessons from AI Founders, we are hosting with our portfolio company Eventual Computing. **[RSVP here](https://lu.ma/pf00o477).**

Array Ventures **All Things Enterprise** Conference in June was a success! We had over 100 VCs, half of our founders, and many LPs in the room. Four companies raised their follow-on rounds in Q3 from meeting some VCs at the conference. 🎉🎉🎉

One of the popular sessions was from one of Array Ventures early founder Noam Ben-Zvi of Placer.ai. You can watch his session on his 0 to $100M ARR journey [here](https://drive.google.com/file/d/16lDq2p4vyfJVzunZwgVXMlBIt9F6faDr/view) 🎥.
