🚨 SEEN speaker announcement 🚨

We’re excited to welcome back Emmanuel Brown, Co-Founder and CEO of Churchspace, to the stage at SEEN Summit 2026!

ChurchSpace, a venture-backed company building a neighborhood infrastructure network by activating underutilized church real estate, turns underused church properties into ready-to-run hyperlocal sites for delivery and logistics companies, strengthening local delivery capacity and helping communities receive goods faster and more reliably. ChurchSpace was recognized among the Black Tech Effect’s Top 100 Black-led startups in 2024.

As a portfolio company of Visible Hands and a16z Speedrun (TxO), Emmanuel has raised millions in venture capital and learned how investors evaluate risk, narrative, conviction, and founder credibility, particularly when a founder does not fit the industry’s default pattern. He now advises underestimated founders on fundraising strategy, investor psychology, and executive presence.

On November 5, we’ll be bringing together founders, investors, operators, and ecosystem leaders at Industry City in Brooklyn for a day of big ideas, honest conversations, and the people building the future.

OUR VISIBILITY PAYS OFF — ON STAGE, IN REAL TIME.

At SEEN Summit, we're hosting a live taping of The Pitch — the podcast where founders pitch real investors for real capital, on the spot.

You watch the deal happen. Or watch it fall apart. Either way, you see exactly what gets a check written and what doesn't.

Space for the taping is limited.

November 5th, Industry City.

We recently wrapped up Blueprint: Tulsa with our end-of-program Capstone: a celebration of the founders, ideas, and community that came together throughout the program.

Over the course of Blueprint, this cohort has had the opportunity to learn, build, connect with peers, and access the capital and hands-on support needed to keep moving their companies forward.

The Capstone gave us a chance to step back and celebrate that progress, and to hear directly from founders about what they’re building and where they’re headed next. One of the things we’ve loved most about Blueprint is seeing the depth of talent and ambition being built in Tulsa and across the South. There’s so much happening outside of the traditional startup hubs, and we’re excited to keep showing up, listening, and building alongside the founders doing it.

To our Blueprint founders: thank you for letting us be part of the journey. We can’t wait to see what comes next!

POV: your coworking session comes with a built-in founder group chat 💻✨

We recently brought the Visionaries NYC Alumni Network together for another coworking session—and this one featured the founders who joined our Peer Notes Exchange, where they could share what they’re learning, navigating, and figuring out with real time feedback. We love seeing those connections continue to grow beyond initial programs!

Once you’re a Visionary, you’re always part of the community. 🫶

What’s one thing you’ve learned from another founder recently? Share some knowledge below.
